Signs to look for

When to call us for slab leak damage

From damage control through drying, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A warm spot on a tile or wood floor

For an accountable recovery, heated water escaping under the concrete warms the slab above it.

You hear water running with everything turned off

From damage control through drying, stand in a quiet room at night and listen at floor level.

The water heater cycles constantly

As each work stage is verified, a leak on the hot water line or a recirculation line pulls heated water out around the clock.

New cracks in the slab or in floor tile

With clear job steps, water changes the soil under a slab, and movement shows up as cracked tile or a new line in the concrete.

Baseboards and door casings are damp along one wall

As each work stage is verified, water in the slab wicks up into the bottom of the drywall and the trim.

Dark or damp grout in a line across the floor

For an accountable recovery, grout is the most permeable part of a tile floor, so moisture appears there first.

What happens

How we handle slab leak damage

Our damage-response professionals adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Confirming the water is coming from below

For an accountable recovery, we rule out the roof, the walls and every fixture in the area first.

Locating the leak so nobody cuts on a guess

With clear job steps, meter readings, surface temperature differences and a thermal imaging camera narrow the area before any concrete is considered.

Marking the affected slab area and its edges

For an accountable recovery, the wet boundary gets drawn on the floor and recorded in a map. With clear job steps, that marking is what keeps flooring removal from becoming guesswork.

Extraction of the water that came up through the slab

With clear job steps, standing water, wet carpet and pad, and water sitting under a floating floor all get removed.

Flooring removal only where it has to come up

With clear job steps, tile with sound thinset and grout often stays down.

Wall base and cavity drying where water wicked up

For an accountable recovery, drywall pulls moisture up from a wet slab by wicking, so the bottom band of the wall gets metered and dried.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

From damage control through drying, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. From damage control through drying, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Leak location survey with meter readings and thermal imaging	With clear job steps, national estimate. For an accountable recovery, the right first step before anyone considers opening concrete.	$250 to $600
Slab leak drying, one room, flooring stays down	With clear job steps, national estimate. As each work stage is verified, extraction, slab drying and four to six days of equipment with daily readings.	$1,200 to $3,500
Slab leak with flooring removal and slab drying across two rooms	With clear job steps, national estimate. For an accountable recovery, flooring and pad removal, wall base drying and extended slab drying.	$3,000 to $8,000
Slab leak cleanup where cabinetry and wall bases are involved	With clear job steps, national estimate. As each work stage is verified, toe kick voids, wall bases and trim in addition to the slab itself.	$1,500 to $5,000
Slab drying priced by affected area, clean water	With clear job steps, national estimate. For an accountable recovery, measured wet area of the slab rather than the whole room.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Slab moisture documentation before new flooring is installed	With clear job steps, national estimate. With clear job steps, our readings against a dry reference area, as supporting evidence alongside the installer's own ASTM testing.	$150 to $400
Your plumber's slab leak repair, reroute or open the slab	National estimate for your plumber's action plan, listed so the total is not a surprise.	$1,000 to $6,000

How long the leak ran before it was found
From damage control through drying, slab leaks are usually found late, and every week widens the saturated area under the floor.
Hot side or cold side
As each work stage is verified, a hot water line leak adds heat and humidity to the space and shows itself sooner as a warm spot.
Flooring type over the slab
With clear job steps, tile with sound thinset often stays down.
How much flooring has to be removed
From damage control through drying, removal is priced by area, and the marked wet boundary is what keeps it honest.
Whether wall bases wicked moisture up
With clear job steps, if the bottom band of drywall reads wet, trim comes off and that band gets dried or removed.
Concrete drying days
For an accountable recovery, air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

As each work stage is verified, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A slab leak does not drain, it saturates

From damage control through drying, water under concrete has nowhere to go, so it soaks the soil and the slab continuously.

Concrete keeps releasing water after the leak stops

From damage control through drying, a saturated slab feeds moisture into the room for days once the pipe is fixed.

New flooring over a wet slab fails, and the warranty goes with it

From damage control through drying, adhesives release, laminate cores swell and wood cups when the slab beneath is still giving up moisture.

The soil under the slab can wash out or swell

With clear job steps, continuous water either carries fine soil away or expands clay soils.

Read the explanation

With clear job steps, it helps to know what is actually down there. With clear job steps, in slab on grade construction, water supply lines are commonly run inside or beneath the concrete, historically in soft copper tubing.

How the next step is decided

Read the explanation

With clear job steps, reroute or open the slab is your plumber's decision, and we explain what each one means for our half of the job.

What may change the work

For an accountable recovery, concrete holds water in a fine pore structure and gives it back gradually.

Read the explanation

As each work stage is verified, drying concrete is a slower science than drying drywall and it needs to be measured rather than assumed.

Common questions

Questions about slab leak damage

What is a slab leak?

From damage control through drying, it is a leak in a water line that runs inside or beneath the concrete floor of a slab on grade building.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

With clear job steps, look for a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water with everything off.

Why is one spot on my floor warm?

With clear job steps, because hot water is escaping under the concrete and heating the slab above it.

Do you find the slab leak or does a plumber?

From damage control through drying, we locate the wet area and narrow the leak location using moisture readings, surface temperature and the pattern of the wet boundary.

Does the slab have to be jackhammered?

With clear job steps, not always. With clear job steps, many plumbers prefer a reroute, which abandons the failed run and routes new pipe through walls or the attic.

What is a reroute?

From damage control through drying, it is new pipe run above the slab to replace the failed section underneath it.

Can concrete be dried, or does it have to be replaced?

With clear job steps, concrete dries. From damage control through drying, it just does it slowly, because water sits in the pore structure and comes out over days rather than hours.
