How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Celeste

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

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet carpet pad can hold moisture beneath an apparently dry pile. Removing soaked pad may be needed to expose the floor for drying.

• Turn off the main supply only if the valve is reachable from a dry place.
• Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
• Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
• Photograph visible water and note which rooms are changing.
• Avoid drilling, cutting concrete or lifting attached flooring yourself.
