How Slab Leak Drying Works in La Fontaine

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Early extraction limits how long carpet pad and wall bases stay damp.

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

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

3. Open water holding materials

   Baseboard or a small section of wet finish may need opening for airflow. The technician explains the drying reason for that access.

4. Dry and verify

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