How Slab Leak Drying Works in Bull Shoals
Cabinet bases and drywall absorb water from a slab leak. Prompt drying helps keep those porous materials from staying saturated.
-
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
Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.
-
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
Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
