Slab Leak Water Damage Restoration in North Star, DE

Rapid growth in coastal and suburban areas means many newer homes in Delaware are built with PEX supply lines and plastic drains. On a slab home, a pressurized leak under the concrete can soak flooring and baseboards from below. Signs include warm spots on floors, buckled wood or laminate and unexplained high water bills. We locate and repair the slab leak, often by rerouting the line overhead. Then we dry the slab and remove damaged flooring before new flooring goes in.
