How Slab Leak Drying Works in Woolwine

Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.

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

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

3. Open water holding materials

   Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.

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.
