How Slab Leak Drying Works in Lexington

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

1. Extract accessible water

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

   Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.

4. Dry and verify
