How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Bumpus Mills

1. Remove accessible water

   Standing liquid is lifted from exposed areas. The technician also looks for water at wall and cabinet bases.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.

• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.

• Avoid covering damp floors with rugs or plastic sheets.
