How Water Softener Leak Cleanup Works in Elk

1. Extract standing water

   A technician removes accessible liquid around the tank and nearby doorway.

• Keep clear of wet outlets and powered laundry equipment.
• Call a plumber or softener technician to stop the equipment leak.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet floor when safe to do so.
• Photograph the water path, then call for extraction before it spreads.
