How Slab Leak Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Creola

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.
