How Slab Leak Water Extraction and Drying Works in Olla
-
Extract accessible water
The crew removes pooled water in Olla before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.
-
Map the wet footprint
The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.
-
Open water holding materials
Water trapped under a floor covering may require material removal. The scope follows moisture findings and the condition of the finish.
-
Dry and verify
Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Turn off the main supply only if the valve is reachable from a dry place.
- Call a plumber for the pipe beneath the slab.
- Stay clear of wet outlets, cords and powered appliances.
- Photograph visible water and note which rooms are changing.
- Avoid drilling, cutting concrete or lifting attached flooring yourself.
