How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Kimball

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 dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   Wet pad and damaged porous materials may need removal. The crew documents what was affected before opening it.

4. Track drying results

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Ask a plumber to stop the buried leak if water still flows.
• 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.
