How Slab Leak Drying Works in Alva

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

1. Extract accessible water

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

3. Open water holding materials

   Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Alva.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Pipes in garages and crawl spaces face winter exposure. Water already under flooring needs extraction regardless of the weather.
