Dallas–Fort Worth — After a Slab Leak
The Slab Leak's Fixed. Now Half Your Floors Are Coming Out.
Plumbers cut the slab. Floors are saturated. Cabinets are at risk. The contents in those rooms have to clear today — documented, packed, and stored before flooring crews start tearing out. Send the address.
If You're Standing on the Floor That's Coming Out
If you're on this page right now, you're probably:
- told the plumber found the leak under the slab and the floors have to come up
- looking at hardwoods, tile, or LVP that's already buckling from moisture
- wondering if your cabinets, baseboards, and furniture are next
- trying to figure out where the contents in those rooms go
- scared this is going to take 60–90 days and you have nowhere to put your stuff
- calling around and getting voicemails while moisture spreads
Slab leaks don't show until moisture has already migrated under flooring and into walls. Every day contents stay in those rooms, secondary damage adds up — and the carrier writes more off as non-salvageable.
You don't need to figure out what to do with everything in those rooms.
You need a contents crew on site today — documenting, packing, and clearing rooms before flooring tear-out begins.
Quick Answer
If the plumber just fixed a slab leak:
- Photo every affected room and item before anything is moved.
- Open the claim with your carrier today.
- Get mitigation set up for moisture mapping and dryout.
- Get a contents crew on site to clear rooms before flooring tear-out.
- Store contents in climate-controlled storage through the rebuild.
- Pack-back when flooring, baseboards, and cabinets are reinstalled.
Slab leaks are 60–90 day projects. Most homeowners try to keep contents on-site and end up with secondary damage — humidity, dust, and constant crew traffic ruin items the leak never touched.
What Happens After a Slab Leak
Here's the order on a typical slab-leak claim — and where we step in:
- 01Plumber locates and repairs the leak under the slab
- 02Mitigation maps moisture, extracts, and dries the structure
- 03We document, inventory, pack out, and store contents← This is us
- 04Flooring, cabinets, and reconstruction handle the rebuild
- 05We pack-back and place everything when the build is finished← This is us
You're at step 1 or 2 right now. We pick up at step 3 — today.
Who This Is For
For the Homeowner Looking at a 60-Day Project
Slab-leak claims aren't quick. You need a contents plan that protects your belongings through 30–90 days of flooring tear-out, drying, and rebuild — not a self-storage unit and a U-Haul.
- every item photographed and condition-noted before it leaves
- climate-controlled storage — not a self-storage unit
- chain-of-custody tracking through the entire rebuild
- coordinated move-back when floors are reinstalled
You stay with your family. We hold the contents until the floors are back.
For the Plumber Who Just Located the Leak
You found the leak and capped the line. The homeowner is staring at half their floors coming out. Hand them a real next step — same-day contents crew, direct-bill to carrier.
You stay on plumbing. We stay on contents.
For the Adjuster on a Slab-Leak File
Photo inventory, condition reports, and Xactimate line items aligned with the flooring scope. Long-storage line items billed monthly — clean and consistent throughout the rebuild.
Documentation starts the day we arrive.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
how long does a slab leak repair take?
Plumbing repair is usually 1–2 days. Floor tear-out, dryout, and rebuild typically run 30–90 days depending on flooring type and scope.
do i have to move my stuff out for a slab leak?
If multiple rooms are affected or flooring is being replaced, contents in those rooms typically have to clear so crews can work.
will insurance cover this?
Most slab-leak losses are covered for the resulting damage (flooring, drywall, contents) even when the leak itself isn't. We bill the carrier direct.
what about my hardwood floors?
Once hardwoods buckle from moisture, they're usually replaced. The contents on top need to clear before tear-out so they don't get damaged in the demo.
can i stay in the house during the work?
Sometimes — depends on scope, dust, and how many rooms are affected. ALE may cover temporary housing if displacement is needed.
