How Slab Leak Drying Works in Bells

Extract accessible water
Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

Open water holding materials
The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Bells.
