Concrete Slab Leak Water Extraction

When a pipe under or in the slab leaks, water comes up through cracks and flooring. The surface water is extracted and the leak location is noted for a plumber.

Slab Foundation Water Removal

Water that wicks into a slab foundation affects flooring, baseboards and the bottom of walls. Each is checked with a meter and dried.

Flooded Garage Slab Drying

Stored boxes, tools and items on the garage floor are moved so the slab and the base of the walls can be reached.

Basement Concrete Water Extraction

Basement slabs hold moisture longer than upper floors. Drying continues until concrete readings reach normal levels.

Large commercial slabs are pumped, squeegeed and extracted with high-capacity equipment, then dried with large dehumidifiers.

How to Tell If You Need Slab Water Extraction in Des Moines

Efflorescence on Concrete Surfaces

White, powdery deposits on concrete show water is moving through the slab and leaving minerals behind.

Warped or Sticking Doors

Doors that stick or drag after a leak can mean flooring and trim have swollen from moisture below.

Visible Cracks and Spalling

Cracks and flaking on the surface of concrete can worsen when water in the slab freezes and thaws.

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 Des Moines

Step 1: On-Site Evaluation and Extraction

The type of water and the wet area are recorded, and extraction begins.

Step 2: Deep Drying Setup

Flooring that traps water is lifted so the concrete can release moisture from its surface.

Step 3: Humidity Control

Room humidity is kept low so the slab keeps drying steadily over several days.

Step 4: Validation of Dry Conditions

Final readings confirm the concrete is dry enough for new flooring and baseboards.
