Signs to look for

When to call us for slab leak damage

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 a clear next step, heated water escaping under the concrete warms the slab above it. Walk the floor barefoot and you can often find the area within a foot or two.

You hear water running with everything turned off

For a clear next step, stand in a quiet room at night and listen at floor level. A steady hiss or rush with every fixture closed is water leaving the system.

The water heater cycles constantly

As we plan the work, 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

For a clear next step, 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

For a clear next step, water in the slab wicks up into the bottom of the drywall and the trim. Damp trim with a dry ceiling almost always means the water came from below.

Dark or damp grout in a line across the floor

As we plan the work, grout is the most permeable part of a tile floor, so moisture appears there first. A line rather than a patch tends to follow the pipe run.

What happens

How we handle slab leak damage

Our restoration team adjusts the work to where the water reached, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Confirming the water is coming from below

We rule out the roof, the walls and every fixture in the area first. A slab leak diagnosis is only sound once the easy sources are eliminated.

Locating the leak so nobody cuts on a guess

As we plan the work, 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 a clear next step, the wet boundary gets drawn on the floor and recorded in a map. That marking is what keeps flooring removal from becoming guesswork.

Extraction of the water that came up through the slab

For a careful restoration, standing water, wet carpet and pad, and water sitting under a floating floor all get removed. Carpet pad in the affected area comes out.

Flooring removal only where it has to come up

For a clear next step, tile with sound thinset and grout often stays down. Laminate over a wet slab and glued wood usually have to be removed for the slab to dry.

Wall base and cavity drying where water wicked up

To protect the property, drywall pulls moisture up from a wet slab by wicking, so the bottom band of the wall gets metered and dried.

What to expect

What to expect from our restoration team

Here is how we usually handle slab leak damage near Oklahoma.

  1. 1

    Walk us through what is warm, wet or louder than it should be

    For a clear next step, those three symptoms point almost anywhere else in a building except under the floor. Together they point down, and that changes what we bring.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Shut the water heater down safely to test the hot side

    To protect the property, turn the water heater off first, meaning the gas control to pilot or off, or the breaker off.

    +10 minutes
  3. 3

    Ruling out everything above the slab first

    To protect the property, on arrival the lead checks fixtures, walls and the ceiling in the affected area. That elimination is what makes the slab diagnosis credible.

    On arrival
  4. 4

    The water-affected space mapped and marked on the floor

    For a careful restoration, a moisture meter, surface temperature differences and the damp line at the flooring edge set the boundary, and it gets drawn and photographed.

    First hours on site
  5. 5

    Flooring opened where it must be, water extracted

    To protect the property, wet carpet and pad, swollen laminate and failed adhesive come up in the marked area. Standing water and water trapped under floating floors get removed.

    Same day
  6. 6

    Reroute or open the slab, and what each means for drying

    For a careful restoration, your plumber makes that call, and we explain the drying consequence of both. A reroute leaves the slab intact, and opening it adds dust, spoil and a wet patch.

    Plumber's day
  7. 7

    Equipment set on the slab after the repair

    For a clear next step, air movers over the concrete, Professional dehumidifiers taking moisture out of the air, and negative pressure under floating assemblies where the system allows it.

    After the repair

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We review with you the proposed restoration steps and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Leak location survey with meter readings and thermal imagingFor a clear next step, national estimate. The right first step before anyone considers opening concrete.$250 to $600
Slab leak drying, one room, flooring stays downAs we plan the work, national estimate. 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 roomsFor a clear next step, national estimate. 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 involvedFor a careful restoration, national estimate. 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 waterFor a clear next step, national estimate. Measured water-affected space of the slab rather than the whole room.$3 to $7 per square foot
Slab moisture documentation before new flooring is installedAs we plan the work, national estimate. 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 slabTo protect the property, national estimate for your plumber's work plan, listed so the total is not a surprise.$1,000 to $6,000
  • How long the leak ran before it was found
    For a clear next step, slab leaks are usually found late, and every week widens the saturated area under the floor. Duration also decides how much flooring is salvageable.

  • Hot side or cold side
    For a clear next step, 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
    For a careful restoration, tile with sound thinset often stays down. Glued hardwood, laminate and carpet with pad usually come up, and removal is labor plus disposal.

  • How much flooring has to be removed
    As we plan the work, removal is priced by area, and the marked wet boundary is what keeps it honest. A mapped edge is cheaper than a cautious guess.

  • Whether wall bases wicked moisture up
    For a careful restoration, if the bottom band of drywall reads wet, trim comes off and that band gets dried or removed.

  • Concrete drying days
    As we plan the work, 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

Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A slab leak does not drain, it saturates

For a careful restoration, water under concrete has nowhere to go, so it soaks the soil and the slab continuously. There is no puddle to warn you and no natural end to it.

Concrete keeps releasing water after the leak stops

For a clear next step, 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

For a careful restoration, adhesives release, laminate cores swell and wood cups when the slab beneath is still giving up moisture. Installers exclude that failure from their warranty.

The soil under the slab can wash out or swell

As we plan the work, continuous water either carries fine soil away or expands clay soils. Both show up as movement, cracked tile and doors that stop closing.

Helpful service information

What to know about slab leak damage

First, share the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

For a clear next step, in slab on grade construction, water supply lines are commonly run inside or beneath the concrete, historically in soft copper tubing.

Read the explanation

As we plan the work, it helps to know what is actually down there. 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

For a clear next step, a reroute abandons the failed section and runs new pipe overhead or through walls.

Read the explanation

As we plan the work, 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 a careful restoration, concrete holds water in a fine pore structure and gives it back gradually.

Read the explanation

To protect the property, 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?

For a careful restoration, 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?

To protect the property, look for a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water with everything off. Also check for a water bill that stepped up and stayed up, and damp baseboards under a dry ceiling.

Why is one spot on my floor warm?

For a careful restoration, because hot water is escaping under the concrete and heating the slab above it. Warm spots are the single most reliable slab leak symptom in a home.

Do you find the slab leak or does a plumber?

We locate the water-affected space and narrow the leak location using moisture readings, surface temperature and the pattern of the wet boundary.

Does the slab have to be jackhammered?

For a careful restoration, not always. Many plumbers prefer a reroute, which abandons the failed run and routes new pipe through walls or the attic.

What is a reroute?

For a clear next step, it is new pipe run above the slab to replace the failed section underneath it. Slightly more visible work in walls, and no concrete cutting.

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

For a clear next step, concrete dries. It just does it slowly, because water sits in the pore structure and comes out over days rather than hours.
