How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Tomkins Cove

1. Remove accessible water

   The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

4. Track drying results

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Prompt extraction reduces the time a floor assembly stays saturated.

• Ask a plumber to stop the buried leak if water still flows.
• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.
• Move portable belongings out of the damp area.
• Record visible stains, swelling and water levels.
• Avoid covering damp floors with rugs or plastic sheets.
