What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Warmth from a hot pipe does not make a slab leak harmless. Water can still reach wood, drywall and adhesive beneath flooring.
- Close the water supply if it can be done safely.
- Avoid walking on loose tile or wet electrical areas.
- Move movable rugs and small items off the damp floor.
- Photograph wet grout, lifted edges and wall stains.
- Do not break tile to hunt for the buried pipe.

- Photograph the first visible damp area.
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
