How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Panhandle

1. Extract accessible water

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

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

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.

• Turn off the main supply only if the valve is reachable from a dry place.
• Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
• Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
• Photograph visible water and note which rooms are changing.
• Avoid drilling, cutting concrete or lifting attached flooring yourself.
