How Slab Leak Drying Works in Oakley

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

1. Extract accessible water

   Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.

2. Map the wet footprint

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

3. Open water holding materials

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
