How Slab Leak Drying Works in Story

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

1. Extract accessible water

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

3. Open water holding materials

   Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.

4. Dry and verify

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