How Slab Leak Drying Works in Rockbridge Baths

Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.

1. Extract accessible water

   Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.

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

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

4. Dry and verify

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