How Wet Carpet Drying After a Slab Leak Works in Sublimity

1. Extract accessible water

   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

   Moisture meters help trace slab leak water beyond the visible stain. The technician records affected rooms and nearby dry comparison areas.

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

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

• Use a dry route to shut off the water supply if the leak continues.
• Keep electrical cords and small appliances off the damp carpet.
• Move light belongings from the wet patch when safe to do so.
• Photograph the carpet edge, furniture contact points and any visible water.
• Avoid pulling up large carpet sections or running a household vacuum on wet material.
