A pinhole leak in a line under the slab can wick up through the floor for days before it shows. Fort Collins crews locate it, extract the moisture, and dry the affected rooms, any hour.
The crew uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to find where water is coming up through the slab, so the repair can target the right spot.
Damp flooring is lifted where needed, and moisture is extracted from the slab surface and the materials above it.
Air movers and specialized drying equipment pull moisture from the slab and surrounding materials to a measured target.
Readings confirm the area is dry, and the loss is photographed and logged for the insurance claim.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Slab leak water damage cleanup in Fort Collins typically runs from about $1,200 to $5,500, depending on how long the leak ran, how much flooring was affected, and how much slab drying is required. A small leak caught early is on the low end; a long-running leak that lifted flooring across several rooms is on the high end. The resulting water damage is often a covered claim, documented and billed direct to the carrier, while the pipe repair is separate.
Crews reach Fort Collins, Larimer County, and the nearby northern Front Range fast, from Old Town, Midtown, and Campus West to Laporte, Wellington, Loveland, Windsor, and Timnath. See the full list on the areas served across Fort Collins page.

Truck-mounted, portable, and submersible for any size loss.
The loss is documented and billed to the carrier directly.
A warm spot on the floor from a hot-water line, damp or lifting flooring with no obvious source, the sound of running water, a musty smell, or an unexplained rise in the water bill.
Moisture meters and thermal imaging show where water is collecting and coming up through the slab, which narrows the location so the repair does not tear up the whole floor.
Crews handle the water cleanup and drying. The plumbing repair, which may involve accessing or rerouting the line, is done by a plumber, and the two are coordinated.
The resulting water damage is often covered, though the pipe repair itself may not be. Access to reach the leak is sometimes covered. The loss is documented to support the claim.
More urgent than it looks. Even a slow leak keeps saturating the slab and flooring and can feed mold and structural issues, so locating and drying it early saves cost.
Fort Collins crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
