Water beneath concrete may surface far from the opening. The plumbing trade addresses the break while restoration workers follow the wet footprint.

How Slab Leak Under Tile Cleanup Works in Midway

1. Remove accessible water

   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

4. Track drying results

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

• Close the water supply if it can be done safely.
• Avoid walking on loose tile or wet electrical areas.
• Move movable rugs and small items off the damp floor.
• Photograph wet grout, lifted edges and wall stains.
• Do not break tile to hunt for the buried pipe.
