How Slab Leak Drying Works in Megargel

A closed room may keep moisture in the air after a slab leak. Dehumidifiers and airflow support a measured structural dry out.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Megargel before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

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

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

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.
