How Slab Leak Drying Works in Callicoon

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.

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

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

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Callicoon was built in the 1970s. A mid century Callicoon home may have a slab floor beneath several later finishes. Moisture mapping follows the current assembly.

Pipes in garages and crawl spaces face winter exposure. Water already under flooring needs extraction regardless of the weather. The homeowner should note when warm flooring or damp carpet first appeared. Accurate dates help explain the loss.

• Retain moisture maps and readings.

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