Our water bill nearly doubled and one spot on the tile was always warm. They pinpointed the slab leak so only a small area of tile came up, dried the slab and the cabinets, and lined up the repipe. Minimal mess for what it could have been.

I could hear water running when everything was off. They found the slab leak fast, dried the cabinet bases and the floor, and documented it all for insurance. Calm, honest, and they did not tear up half the house to find it.

A slab leak is one of the sneakiest water losses in a Central Florida home, because it happens under your feet where you cannot see it. Most homes here are slab-on-grade, with the copper or poly water lines running through the concrete. When one of those lines corrodes or fails, water escapes under the slab and works its way up into the flooring, the cabinets, and the walls. There is no dramatic flood, just a warm spot on the tile, the faint sound of water running when everything is off, and a water bill that quietly doubles. Our restoration crews locate it precisely, dry what it reached, and coordinate the repair with the least demolition possible.
How to spot a slab leak
Slab leaks give subtle signs long before they show real damage. Watch for:
- A warm or unusually cold spot on a tile or floor for no clear reason
- The sound of running water when every faucet and fixture is off
- A water bill that jumps with no change in how much you use
- Cracked or loose tile, or a musty smell near the floor
A slab leak is different from a burst pipe in the wall or a water heater failure in the garage. It is under the concrete, which is exactly why locating it accurately matters so much.
Our slab leak response
Seminole Water Restoration keeps the demolition to a minimum and the drying thorough:
- Locate the leak precisely so only the smallest area of flooring has to come up
- Extract the water and dry the slab with mat drying systems built for concrete
- Dry the cabinet bases, flooring, and any wall the water wicked into
- Verify the slab and cabinets are dry with meters before rebuild
- Coordinate the plumber to repair or reroute the line and document the loss
Drying a slab takes specialized equipment and patience, which is why monitored structural drying is central to a slab-leak job.

Call (407) 307-2934Tap for 24/7 slab leak dispatchWhy the water bill is your early warning
Your meter is the best slab-leak detector you have, and it costs nothing to check.
- Turn everything off and watch the meter. If it still moves, water is escaping somewhere
- Compare your bill month to month, since a slow slab leak shows up as a steady climb
- Call at the first sign, because a slab leak only gets more expensive the longer it runs
The EPA's WaterSense program explains how to find hidden leaks using your water meter, and the University of Florida IFAS Extension covers home water use and plumbing in Florida.
Locating beats guessing
The costly part of a slab leak is not the water, it is the demolition. Pinpointing the leak before anyone picks up a saw means we open the smallest possible area, which saves your flooring, your budget, and your week.
One corner of the kitchen tile was always warm and the water bill kept climbing. They located the slab leak exactly, so only a small square of tile came up, then dried the slab and cabinets and set up the repipe. Far less destructive than I feared, and they documented everything.

FAQ
Slab Leak Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Seminole County crew is standing by 24/7.
(407) 307-2934 Call nowTap to reach 24/7 dispatchWhat are the first signs of a slab leak?
A warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, a water bill that jumps, or cracked and loose tile. If you notice any of these, shut the water at the main and check whether the meter stops, then call us to locate it.
Will you have to tear up my whole floor?
No. We locate the leak precisely first, so only the smallest area of flooring has to come up. Guessing is what leads to torn-up rooms. Pinpointing the leak keeps the demolition, and the cost, as small as possible.
Do you repair the pipe or reroute it?
The plumber decides whether to spot-repair the line or reroute it above the slab, based on the pipe's age and condition. We handle the water damage, locate the leak, dry the slab and cabinets, and coordinate the plumbing so it all moves together.
Is a slab leak covered by insurance?
Many Florida policies cover the water damage from a sudden slab leak and the cost to access the pipe, even when the pipe repair itself is not covered. We document the loss and bill your carrier directly for the covered mitigation.
How do you dry water under a concrete slab?
With mat drying systems designed for concrete, which pull moisture up out of the slab, along with air movers and dehumidifiers. Concrete holds water, so we monitor with meters and keep drying until the slab reads dry, not just the surface.
How long does a slab leak job take?
Locating and starting the dry-out happens the same day. Drying a slab and cabinets to a verified reading usually takes four to seven days because concrete releases moisture slowly, and the repipe and rebuild are coordinated around that.
