How Slab Leak Drying Works in Mount Hermon

A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.

1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Mount Hermon before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.
