How Slab Leak Drying Works in Cactus
A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.
-
Extract accessible water
The crew removes pooled water in Cactus before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.
-
Map the wet footprint
Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.
-
Open water holding materials
A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.
-
Dry and verify
A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
