How Slab Leak Drying Works in Dunbar

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

   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

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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.
