How Slab Leak Drying Works in Luckey
Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.
-
Extract accessible water
Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.
-
Map the wet footprint
Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
Dry and verify
Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
