How Slab Leak Drying Works in Kodiak

Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.

1. Extract accessible water

   Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Check terms for slow seepage.
• Ask what the adjuster needs next.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
