Emergency Slab Leak Water Damage Restoration in Mesa, AZ

Services Provided: Water Damage, Leak Detection
Application: Residential

On April 30th, Xtreme Drying received an urgent call from a homeowner in Mesa, AZ, reporting approximately two inches of standing water in his kitchen. The source of the leak was unknown, and immediate assistance was needed. Our team responded quickly, arriving on-site to assess the situation and begin mitigation efforts.

Upon initial inspection, our technicians discovered significant water absorption in the kitchen cabinets and surrounding walls. Using moisture detection tools and visual cues, we determined the damage was more extensive than originally anticipated. To further investigate, we performed controlled exploratory cuts in the drywall, which helped confirm the presence of a leak originating from beneath the concrete slab.

Given the nature of slab leaks and the complexity of locating them precisely, a leak detection specialist was brought in to identify the exact point of failure. After the break in the plumbing was located and repaired, our team began the water damage restoration process. The affected cabinetry was removed to prevent further moisture spread and allow for thorough drying. We also removed sections of water-damaged drywall to promote air circulation and inhibit the risk of microbial growth.

The next day, we returned to remove floor tiles where moisture had become trapped beneath the surface. This step was necessary to ensure complete drying and to prevent future complications from residual moisture. Industrial-grade drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, was deployed strategically throughout the space to accelerate the drying process.

What made this project especially unique was the active participation of the homeowner. His willingness to assist with parts of the work helped speed up the process and demonstrated a strong sense of teamwork. It also highlighted the importance of clear communication and collaboration during restoration projects.

Xtreme Drying’s prompt response and methodical approach helped mitigate further damage and begin the recovery process efficiently. Our experience in water damage restoration and leak detection in Mesa, AZ, allowed us to handle this project with care and professionalism from start to finish.
