Ceramic and porcelain tile can shed surface spills while water from beneath reaches grout joints, perimeter gaps and nearby drywall. A dry looking tile face therefore says little about the bond layer or concrete below it. Call Slab Leak Cleanup Team when damp grout returns after wiping.
A plumber finds and fixes the pipe beneath the slab. The restoration crew in Palos Hills extracts the water and dries affected floors and walls.
