How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Fanrock

1. Remove accessible water

   The technician begins at visible water and extends assessment into adjacent rooms. Extraction addresses accessible liquid.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

   Daily moisture records help verify the dry-out. Replacement finishes wait until conditions are suitable.

• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.
• Move portable belongings out of the damp area.
• Record visible stains, swelling and water levels.
• Avoid covering damp floors with rugs or plastic sheets.
