How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Alpine
-
Extract accessible water
The crew removes pooled water in Alpine before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.
-
Map the wet footprint
Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
