During water softener leak cleanup, a technician in Gunpowder checks visible pooling and hidden moisture beneath finishes. The crew extracts the water it can reach.
A water softener often sits beside shelves, a laundry area or finished utility room walls. A failed connection or overflowing drain can wet cabinet bases and flooring before the source is noticed. Pressure Tank Leak Team sends a crew to remove water and check where it has traveled.
