How Slab Leak Drying Works in Merrimac
A closed room may keep moisture in the air after a slab leak. Dehumidifiers and airflow support a measured structural dry out.
-
Extract accessible water
Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.
-
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
Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.
-
Dry and verify
The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
