How Slab Leak Drying Under Tile Works in Granite Falls

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

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

3. Open water holding materials

   Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Shut off the water from a dry, safe valve if seepage continues.
• Keep children and pets away from tiles that have lifted or become slippery.
• Avoid prying up tile or drilling into concrete to search for the pipe.
• Take photos of dark grout, wet trim and any returning floor water.
• Leave electrical equipment off where water touches nearby outlets.
