How Slab Leak Drying Works in Shishmaref
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
Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.
-
Open water holding materials
The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
