How Kitchen Slab Leak Water Drying Works in Midway

1. Extract accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
