How Slab Leak Drying Works in Newhall

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

1. Extract accessible water

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

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

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

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.
