How Wet Carpet Drying After a Slab Leak Works in Funk

1. Extract accessible water

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

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   Soaked carpet pad may be removed so the floor below can dry. The crew documents what comes out.

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

Tile can conceal damp adhesive and grout edges. A technician checks neighboring materials instead of judging the job by the tile surface.

• 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.
