How Concrete Slab Water Extraction Works in Gregory
Step 1: On-Site Evaluation and Extraction
The type of water and the wet area are recorded, and extraction begins.
Step 2: Deep Drying Setup
Flooring that traps water is lifted so the concrete can release moisture from its surface.
Step 3: Humidity Control
Room humidity is kept low so the slab keeps drying steadily over several days.
Step 4: Validation of Dry Conditions
Final readings confirm the concrete is dry enough for new flooring and baseboards.
