How Slab Leak Drying Works in Somers Point

A closed room may keep moisture in the air after a slab leak. Dehumidifiers and airflow support a measured structural dry out.

1. 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.

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

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

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