How Slab Leak Drying Service Works in Eleroy

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.
