How Slab Leak Drying Works in Alexander
A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.
-
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
The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.
-
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
The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.
