How Slab Leak Drying Works in Wheelock

A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

1. Extract accessible water

   Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

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

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Before rebuild begins, an adjuster may want proof that affected materials reached dry readings. Save the technician’s final report and invoices. Ask the insurer which policy terms apply.

• Record the date water was discovered.
• Record when the source was stopped.
• Ask what the adjuster needs next.

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