Signs to look for
When to call us for slab leak damage
With documented progress, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
You hear water running with everything turned off
With documented progress, stand in a quiet room at night and listen at floor level.
The water heater cycles constantly
To meet the completion standard, 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
As our quality checks continue, 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
To meet the completion standard, 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
From the first oversight check, grout is the most permeable part of a tile floor, so moisture appears there first.
What happens
How we handle slab leak damage
Our quality-response team 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
From the first oversight check, we rule out the roof, the walls and every fixture in the area first.
Locating the leak so nobody cuts on a guess
As our quality checks continue, 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
From the first oversight check, the wet boundary gets drawn on the floor and recorded in a map.
Extraction of the water that came up through the slab
As our quality checks continue, 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
As our quality checks continue, tile with sound thinset and grout often stays down.
Wall base and cavity drying where water wicked up
From the first oversight check, 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 quality-response team
From the first oversight check, here is how we usually handle slab leak damage near California.
-
1
Tell us what is warm, wet or louder than it should be
From the first oversight check, those three symptoms point almost anywhere else in a building except under the floor.
Your call -
2
Shut the water heater down safely to test the hot side
From the first oversight check, turn the water heater off first, meaning the gas control to pilot or off, or the breaker off.
+10 minutes -
3
Ruling out everything above the slab first
From the first oversight check, on arrival the lead checks fixtures, walls and the ceiling in the affected area.
On arrival -
4
The wet area mapped and marked on the floor
To meet the completion standard, 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
Flooring opened where it must be, water extracted
From the first oversight check, wet carpet and pad, swollen laminate and failed adhesive come up in the marked area.
Same day -
6
Reroute or open the slab, and what each means for drying
From the first oversight check, your plumber makes that call, and we explain the drying consequence of both.
Plumber's day -
7
Equipment set on the slab after the repair
To meet the completion standard, 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
With documented progress, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With documented progress, 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 | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. From the first oversight check, the right first step before anyone considers opening concrete. | $250 to $600 |
| Slab leak drying, one room, flooring stays down | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. To meet the completion standard, 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 | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. From the first oversight check, 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 | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. To meet the completion standard, 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 | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. From the first oversight check, 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 | As our quality checks continue, national estimate. As our quality checks continue, 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 quality plan, listed so the total is not a surprise. | $1,000 to $6,000 |
How long the leak ran before it was found
With documented progress, slab leaks are usually found late, and every week widens the saturated area under the floor.Hot side or cold side
To meet the completion standard, 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
As our quality checks continue, tile with sound thinset often stays down.How much flooring has to be removed
With documented progress, removal is priced by area, and the marked wet boundary is what keeps it honest.Whether wall bases wicked moisture up
As our quality checks continue, if the bottom band of drywall reads wet, trim comes off and that band gets dried or removed.Concrete drying days
From the first oversight check, 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
To meet the completion standard, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
A slab leak does not drain, it saturates
With documented progress, water under concrete has nowhere to go, so it soaks the soil and the slab continuously.
Concrete keeps releasing water after the leak stops
With documented progress, 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
With documented progress, 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
As our quality checks continue, continuous water either carries fine soil away or expands clay soils.
Helpful service information
What to know about slab leak damage
As our quality checks continue, start with the short explanation. To meet the completion standard, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
As our quality checks continue, 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 our quality checks continue, it helps to know what is actually down there. As our quality checks continue, 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
As our quality checks continue, a reroute abandons the failed section and runs new pipe overhead or through walls.
Read the explanation
As our quality checks continue, 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
From the first oversight check, concrete holds water in a fine pore structure and gives it back gradually.
Read the explanation
To meet the completion standard, drying concrete is a slower science than drying drywall and it needs to be measured rather than assumed.

Questions about slab leak damage
What is a slab leak?
With documented progress, 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?
As our quality checks continue, 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?
As our quality checks continue, because hot water is escaping under the concrete and heating the slab above it.
Do you find the slab leak or does a plumber?
With documented progress, 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?
As our quality checks continue, not always. As our quality checks continue, many plumbers prefer a reroute, which abandons the failed run and routes new pipe through walls or the attic.
What is a reroute?
With documented progress, 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?
As our quality checks continue, concrete dries. With documented progress, it just does it slowly, because water sits in the pore structure and comes out over days rather than hours.
