How Slab Leak Drying Works in Peck
Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.
-
Extract accessible water
The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.
-
Map the wet footprint
Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.
-
Open water holding materials
Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.
-
Dry and verify
Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
