How Slab Leak Drying Works in Hickory Valley

Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Hickory Valley before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

2. Map the wet footprint

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

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 closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
