A slab leak is a supply or drain pipe leaking under a concrete floor. Whether a particular house has a slab is confirmed on site, so the first visit checks the floor plan, the water meter and the damp areas before any equipment is chosen. Water under concrete travels sideways, which is why the wet area often looks bigger than the leak. Slab leaks also tend to run for a long time, so the damage is often found only after a bill spikes or a floor changes.
Signs the leak is under the floor
- Flooring that feels damp or warm in one area
- A water meter that keeps moving with every fixture off
- Hairline cracks or lifting along baseboards
- A musty smell near a bathroom or kitchen wall
Any one of these is a reason to shut off the main and call.
A pipe leaking under concrete keeps soaking floors until the water is shut off and dried out.
(888) 926-4485Request a slab leak planHow the water damage is handled
A plumber or leak detection specialist locates and repairs the pipe. The restoration team then removes wet flooring, opens baseboards and uses structural drying to pull moisture out of the subfloor and wall bottoms, with readings guiding each day of equipment.
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.
Who repairs what
Repairs to the pipe belong to the plumber, while drying and cleanup belong to the restoration team. The two are scheduled together so concrete is not opened twice. Related causes are covered under burst pipe water damage and in the service hub.

Water still moving?
A pipe leaking under concrete keeps soaking floors until the water is shut off and dried out.
(888) 926-4485 Request a slab leak planHow does a slab leak damage a house?
Water escapes under the concrete, rises through joints and edges and soaks flooring, baseboards and wall bottoms. Left alone it can run for weeks and spread well beyond the original leak.
Does every house have a slab?
No. Foundation type varies by home, so it is confirmed on site rather than assumed. The first visit checks the floor and the meter before the restoration plan is written.
Who repairs the pipe under the concrete?
A plumber or leak detection specialist locates and repairs it. The restoration team handles water removal, drying and cleanup, and coordinates timing so concrete is opened only once.
Will insurance pay for a slab leak?
It depends on the policy and the cause. Sudden pipe failures are often covered for the resulting water damage, while repairs to the pipe itself may not be. The carrier decides after reviewing the records.
Can carpet and hardwood be saved?
Carpet over a long-running leak is usually removed. Hardwood caught early can sometimes be dried in place, though boards that have cupped or darkened often need replacing.
How is the extent of the damage found?
Moisture meters and thermal cameras read the floor, baseboards and lower walls, and the readings are logged each visit. That map shows where equipment is needed and when the structure has dried.
Dry the floor before the damage spreads further
The drying team maps the wet area, removes soaked finishes and runs equipment on a plan built from readings, with photos kept for the claim.
