How Slab Leak Drying Works in Genoa
Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.
-
Extract accessible water
Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.
-
Map the wet footprint
Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.
-
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
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

Mild periods between freezes can hide lingering moisture. Readings show whether the floor assembly is dry. The homeowner should note when warm flooring or damp carpet first appeared. Accurate dates help explain the loss.
