How Slab Leak Drying Works in Lansing

Cabinet bases and drywall absorb water from a slab leak. Prompt drying helps keep those porous materials from staying saturated.

1. Extract accessible water

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

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

   The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.
