How Slab Leak Drying Works in Neon

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

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

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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

   The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The insurer decides whether a specific slab leak loss qualifies under the policy. Photograph the first wet area, save the pipe assessment, and keep extraction notes. Do not assume the plumbing fix and drying have the same coverage.

• Retain moisture maps and readings.
• Record when the source was stopped.
• Keep final dry readings for rebuild.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
