How Slab Leak Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Montezuma

1. Remove standing water

   Portable units reach upper rooms where truck mounted equipment cannot be placed close to the loss.

   The crew compares wet material readings with a dry area of the same building.

3. Remove what cannot stay

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