How long does concrete slab water extraction take?

The time it takes to extract water from your concrete slab depends on the severity of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the equipment needed. Typically, it takes 3-5 days to complete the process.

Will I need to replace my entire slab?

Not always. In many cases, we can repair or restore your concrete slab without replacing it entirely. But, if the damage is extensive, replacement may be necessary.

Can I use a wet/dry vacuum to extract water from my slab?

No, it's not recommended. Wet/dry vacuums are not designed for large-scale water extraction and can push the water deeper into the slab, causing more damage.
