How Slab Leak Drying Works in Princeton

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

1. Extract accessible water

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   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

   Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
