How Slab Leak Drying Works in Knoxville

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Knoxville before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.

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.
