How Slab Leak Drying Works in El Sobrante

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

1. Extract accessible water

   Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

2. 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.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in El Sobrante.
