How Slab Leak Drying Works in Buellton

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

1. Extract accessible water

   Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.

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.
