How Slab Leak Drying Works in Phelps
A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.
-
Extract accessible water
Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.
-
Map the wet footprint
Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
Dry and verify
Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
