How Slab Leak Drying Works in Stockton
Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.
-
Extract accessible water
Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.
-
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
Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
