How Slab Leak Drying Works in Etna

A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Etna before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Etna.
