How Slab Leak Drying Works in Leroy

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Early extraction limits how long carpet pad and wall bases stay damp.

1. Extract accessible water

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

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

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

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.
