How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mellott

Fixing the pipe stops new water but leaves damp materials behind. Extraction and repeat readings track the remaining loss.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Mellott 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

   Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Mellott.
