How Slab Leak Drying Works in Kaneohe
A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

Extract accessible water

Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
