How Slab Leak Drying Works in Donnellson

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

   The crew removes pooled water in Donnellson before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

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

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

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