How Slab Leak Drying Works in Chili

Water trapped under hardwood may spread sideways. Moisture readings show where equipment should run before the wet area expands.

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

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

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