How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Anthony
-
Extract accessible water
Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.
-
Map the wet footprint
Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.
-
Open water holding materials
Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.
-
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.
- 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.
