How Slab Leak Drying Works in Paint Lick
Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.

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
A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

Open water holding materials
Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.
-
Dry and verify
The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.
