How Slab Leak Drying Works in Greeley
Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.
-
Extract accessible water
Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.
-
Map the wet footprint
Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
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.
