How Wet Carpet Drying After a Slab Leak Works in Danforth

1. Extract accessible water

   Surface mopping cannot reach moisture under hardwood. The technician removes accessible water and maps the deeper wet assembly.

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

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.

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.

• 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.
