How Slab Leak Drying Works in Fithian

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Fithian before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.

Historic plumbing changes may have left different pipe types in one property. The plumber identifies the failed section before final drying.
