How Slab Leak Drying Works in Wickatunk

A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

1. 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.

2. Map the wet footprint

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

3. Open water holding materials

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

An attic pipe and an under slab pipe create different water paths. The technician follows the observed moisture footprint.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Check terms for slow seepage.
• Record when the source was stopped.
• Separate plumbing from dry out costs.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
