How Kitchen Slab Leak Water Drying Works in Tomahawk

1. Extract accessible water

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   Cabinet toe kicks can block air from reaching a wet base. Opening an affected section may expose it for drying.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water at a wall base can wick upward into drywall. The crew checks that height and opens material when drying requires access.

• Shut off the water supply from a safe dry position if the leak continues.
• Keep wet kitchen appliances off until an appropriate trade checks them.
• Move loose items from dry cabinet shelves without touching damaged wiring.
• Photograph swollen toe kicks, floor seams and the path of spreading water.
• Avoid pulling out a heavy dishwasher or cutting cabinet bases yourself.
