How Slab Leak Drying Works in Leslie

Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.

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

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

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

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
