How Slab Leak Drying Works in Westover

Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

3. Open water holding materials

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

4. Dry and verify
