How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mouthcard

Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

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
