How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mulliken
Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.
-
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.
-
Map the wet footprint
Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.
-
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
Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
