How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Pinecrest

1. Extract accessible water

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

3. Open water holding materials

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

• 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.
