How Slab Leak Drying Works in Pine Island

A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

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

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
