Garland water damage questions
How do I check for a slab leak?
Turn off every faucet, appliance and the irrigation, then watch the water meter. If the meter keeps moving, water is going somewhere. A plumber can confirm with leak detection equipment.

How long does a slab take to dry?
Concrete dries slowly. Expect several days to a couple of weeks after the leak is fixed, depending on how long it leaked and the flooring on top.
