  Once plumbing stops the source, the crew dries reachable floor layers and documents moisture near pantry walls.

How Slab Leak Drying Works in Presto

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Early extraction limits how long carpet pad and wall bases stay damp.

1. Extract accessible water

   Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.

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

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The insurer decides whether a specific slab leak loss qualifies under the policy. Photograph the first wet area, save the pipe assessment, and keep extraction notes. Do not assume the plumbing fix and drying have the same coverage.

• Keep final dry readings for rebuild.
