How Kitchen Slab Leak Water Drying Works in Tolley

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

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

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

   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

Wet materials can support growth within 24 to 48 hours. Call (888) 849-5796 when a slab leak soaks carpet, wood, or wall bases.

• Shut off the water supply from a safe dry position if the leak continues.
• Keep wet kitchen appliances off until an appropriate trade checks them.
• Move loose items from dry cabinet shelves without touching damaged wiring.
• Photograph swollen toe kicks, floor seams and the path of spreading water.
• Avoid pulling out a heavy dishwasher or cutting cabinet bases yourself.
