📷 Before and after photos will be added when available from the Sevco Restoration project archive.
The Ramirez family in Mesa noticed warm spots on their tile floor and a gradual increase in their water bill over several weeks. A plumber confirmed a slab leak beneath the master bedroom. By the time Sevco Restoration was called, water had been migrating upward through the concrete slab for an estimated 3 to 4 weeks, saturating the flooring and lower portions of the drywall.
The extended duration of the leak meant that moisture had migrated well beyond the immediate area of the pipe failure. Thermal imaging revealed moisture in the master bedroom, the hallway, and the base of the master bathroom walls. The tile flooring throughout the affected area had to be removed to allow for proper structural drying.
After coordinating with the plumber to confirm the pipe repair was complete, Sevco Restoration removed all affected tile flooring, baseboards, and lower drywall sections. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were deployed throughout the affected area. Daily moisture readings were taken to track the drying progress. After 5 days of drying, all readings returned to normal. New tile flooring, baseboards, and drywall were installed to match the original finish.
The Ramirez home was fully restored in 9 days. The new tile flooring was installed throughout the master bedroom and hallway, and all drywall was repaired and painted. No secondary damage developed as a result of the prompt and thorough drying process.
