Cold and Damp Concrete Floors
Concrete that feels cold and damp underfoot, or a warm spot on the floor, can point to a slab leak.

How Concrete Slab Water Extraction Works in Seven Hills
Step 1: Emergency Water Extraction
The source is stopped, belongings are moved and standing water is pumped or extracted from the slab.
Step 2: Slab Moisture Assessment
Readings across the slab and wall bases show where water spread and where flooring is trapping it.
Step 3: Strategic Drying Setup
Flooring is lifted where needed, and air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry the concrete.
Step 4: Verification and Documentation
Daily readings track drying, and final readings confirm the slab is ready for flooring.
Typical Sources of Slab Water Intrusion in Seven Hills
Heavy Rainfall and Surface Flooding
Heavy rain and surface flooding can push water under doors and onto slab floors.
Poor Lot Grading and Drainage
Ground that slopes toward the house sends rainwater against the slab foundation.
Failed or Missing Vapor Barriers
Slabs built without a vapor barrier, or with a damaged one, let ground moisture wick into the floor.
Plumbing Leaks Under the Slab
Supply and drain pipes under or inside the slab can crack or wear through and leak upward.
