How Slab Leak Water Damage Flood Cleanup Works in Ruby Valley

1. Remove standing water

   A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

2. Map moisture

3. Remove soaked material

   Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Have a plumber stop the pipe leak if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
