How Slab Leak Drying Works in Greene

Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.

1. Extract accessible water

   Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Greene.

• Photograph material before removal.
• Retain moisture maps and readings.
• Ask about pipe access coverage.
