How Slab Leak Drying Works in Barbeau
Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.
-
Extract accessible water
Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.
-
Map the wet footprint
A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

Open water holding materials

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.
