   The assessor compares suspect flooring with similar unaffected material. A slab leak can extend beyond the area that feels warm underfoot.

3. Expose layers that retain water

   A contaminated-water technician identifies porous items that cannot remain after sewage exposure. Controlled removal prepares the area for cleaning and subsequent drying.

4. Control drying and check progress

   The equipment technician adjusts placement when readings reveal a stubborn wet area. Completion depends on documented material goals rather than appearance.
