How Slab Leak Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Osage City

1. Remove standing water

   A technician works from the wettest section toward unaffected rooms to contain the spread of water.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Pin and pinless meters show whether the Osage City floor still holds water below its finish.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.
