How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Mart
-
Extract accessible water
Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.
-
Map the wet footprint
Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.
-
Open water holding materials
Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A closed room may keep moisture in the air after a slab leak. Dehumidifiers and airflow support a measured structural dry out.
- Turn off the main supply only if the valve is reachable from a dry place.
- Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
- Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
- Photograph visible water and note which rooms are changing.
- Avoid drilling, cutting concrete or lifting attached flooring yourself.

Mild periods between freezes can hide lingering moisture. Readings show whether the floor assembly is dry.
