How Slab Leak Drying Works in Fort Polk

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

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

2. Map the wet footprint

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

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 Fort Polk.
