How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Maynard

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

   A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

3. Open water holding materials

   Baseboard or a small section of wet finish may need opening for airflow. The technician explains the drying reason for that access.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.

• 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.
