How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Success
-
Extract accessible water

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

Dry and verify
Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.

- Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
- Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
