How Wet Carpet Drying After a Slab Leak Works in Jackson Center

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Early extraction limits how long carpet pad and wall bases stay damp.
- Use a dry route to shut off the water supply if the leak continues.
- Keep electrical cords and small appliances off the damp carpet.
- Move light belongings from the wet patch when safe to do so.
- Photograph the carpet edge, furniture contact points and any visible water.
- Avoid pulling up large carpet sections or running a household vacuum on wet material.
