How Slab Leak Drying Works in Bitely
Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.
-
Extract accessible water
The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.
-
Map the wet footprint
The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.
-
Open water holding materials
Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.
-
Dry and verify
Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
