How Slab Leak Drying Works in Fleming Island

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 crew removes pooled water in Fleming Island 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

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
