What Slab Leak Drying Under Tile Includes in Point
Floor covering can disguise moisture beneath it. A technician measures the wet footprint before selecting extraction and drying equipment.
A tile surface sheds a small spill, but it does not seal every joint or perimeter. Water from beneath the slab can reach grout, the setting bed and neighboring wall bottoms. A drying crew follows those routes even when the tile face still looks clean.
Two calls cover different needs in Point. The plumber addresses the pipe, and the water damage crew dries the floor assembly.
