How Slab Leak Drying Works in Macon
Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.
-
Extract accessible water
Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.
-
Map the wet footprint
Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.
-
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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
A sudden temperature drop may stress fittings. The pipe cause does not change the need to dry wet wall bases.
