How Slab Leak Drying Works in Easton

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

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

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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

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