How Slab Leak Drying Works in Hulls Cove

-
Map the wet footprint
Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.
-
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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Frozen exterior wall pipes may cause water damage, but an under slab leak has its own source. The plumber distinguishes the failures.
