How Slab Leak Drying Works in Swiss

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

1. Extract accessible water

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

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

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Pipe wear, access to the pipe, drying, and finished floor work may be treated separately. Ask the insurer how each part applies. The technician records the water damage work without deciding coverage.

• Ask what the adjuster needs next.
• Keep final dry readings for rebuild.
• Record when the source was stopped.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
