How Slab Leak Drying Works in Frenchville

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

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