How Slab Leak Drying Works in Pearl

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
