How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mott

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

   Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.

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

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

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
