How Slab Leak Drying Works in Montrose
Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.
-
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
The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
