How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mc Farland

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

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

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.
