How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Seneca

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

4. Track drying results

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet porous material can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. The crew identifies damp areas that deserve prompt drying.

• Ask a plumber to stop the buried leak if water still flows.
• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.
• Move portable belongings out of the damp area.
• Record visible stains, swelling and water levels.
• Avoid covering damp floors with rugs or plastic sheets.
