How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Alum Bank

1. Remove accessible water

   Floor water is removed with suitable extraction tools. Soaked porous layers are evaluated for possible removal.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The wet footprint can extend beyond the first stain. Meter readings shape targeted equipment placement.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

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

• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.
