How Under-Slab Leak Water Extraction Works in Rancho Palos Verdes

1. Recover accessible water

   The extraction operator matches recovery tools to liquid depth and surface construction. Electrical and contamination hazards shape the initial work area.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A technician uses thermal patterns to select areas for closer testing. Moisture measurements check the suspected wetness because temperature alone cannot confirm water.

3. Expose layers that retain water

   Restoration personnel assess swollen flooring for damage that drying cannot reverse. Removal specialists take out unsalvageable layers when the authorized work requires it.

4. Control drying and check progress

   The site supervisor checks equipment performance and the remaining wet footprint. Closing measurements support the transition from mitigation to repair planning.
