How Slab Leak Drying Works in Fosters

Cabinet bases and drywall absorb water from a slab leak. Prompt drying helps keep those porous materials from staying saturated.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Fosters 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

   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 Fosters.
