How Wet Carpet Drying After a Slab Leak Works in Gasport

1. Extract accessible water

   Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

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

   Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.

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.

• 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.
