How Slab Leak Drying Works in Oglethorpe

A closed room may keep moisture in the air after a slab leak. Dehumidifiers and airflow support a measured structural dry out.

1. Extract accessible water

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

3. Open water holding materials

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

4. Dry and verify

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