How Slab Leak Drying Works in Whitewright

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

   Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.

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

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

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
