A leak under a concrete floor stays invisible until the damage surfaces, and in a house built after 2000 the first hint is often a water bill that climbs or a patch of floor that feels warm underfoot. Both the City of Cibolo and Green Valley Special Utility District supply water here, so a jump on either provider's bill is worth a closer look. Restoration begins once the pipe has been located and repaired.
Signs that water is moving under the floor
- A water bill that rises with no change in use
- A warm spot or damp edge on tile or carpet
- The sound of running water with every fixture off
- Baseboards that swell or flooring that lifts at the seams
Any one of these is reason enough to call before the damage spreads.

(888) 926-4485Book leak tracingWhat restoration covers after the plumber
A plumber repairs the pipe, and restoration deals with everything the water touched. The crew uses water extraction for standing water, lifts wet flooring or underlayment, opens baseboards and drywall where meters read high and sets drying equipment sized to the volume of material involved.
Find the main shut-off now
Locate the main water valve before a leak and check that it turns freely. Closing it early is the cheapest way to limit water damage.
Why drying takes longer here
Concrete holds moisture far longer than wood or drywall, so desiccant or low grain dehumidifiers often run longer than on an ordinary job. Readings are logged daily, and finished flooring is not replaced until the floor and walls meet their dry goals. Pair this work with structural drying when the loss spreads across several rooms.

(888) 926-4485 Book leak tracingHow is a leak under the floor found?
Plumbers listen for the sound of moving water, scan for heat and run pressure tests. Restoration then uses moisture meters to follow the water that already escaped.
Can the flooring stay in place?
Sometimes tile can stay, but carpet, laminate and wood usually come up because moisture sits beneath them. Meter readings decide each room.
Does a rising water bill mean a leak?
It can. A bill that climbs with no change in habits, from either water provider here, is a reason to have the pipes checked before damage builds.
Will the concrete itself be damaged?
Concrete does not weaken from a leak, but it holds moisture for a long time, which is why drying runs longer and readings matter more.
Is slab leak damage covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the policy and on whether the leak was sudden or gradual, so keep photos, readings and the plumber's report together for the adjuster.
How long before the floor is dry?
Several days is typical, and thick concrete under finished flooring can take longer. Daily readings show when the numbers reach the dry goal. That timeline is confirmed by the meters, not estimated.
Hidden water keeps spreading until someone follows it
Call now, any hour, and mention warm floor spots, bill jumps or damp baseboards. The restoration team maps the moisture and plans the dry out around what the meters show.
