Damage Restoration Services in Edmond, OK | Fireant Construction

Slab leaks in Edmond are often caused by shifting clay soils, aging copper pipes, or improper installation. The expanding and contracting soil can put pressure on pipes running under concrete slabs, leading to cracks or pinhole leaks. Over time, these leaks saturate the slab and subfloor, causing moisture issues, mold, and even foundation movement. Fireant Construction identifies the leak location using non-invasive methods and repairs the pipe before restoring the damaged flooring and drywall.

Early signs include a musty smell in basements or crawl spaces, damp spots on walls or floors, standing water near the sump pit, or the sump pump running constantly or not at all. You might also notice efflorescence (white powdery residue) on concrete walls. If your sump pump fails during a heavy rain, water can rise quickly, especially in Edmond neighborhoods near drainage basins. Fireant Construction recommends checking your sump pump monthly and calling for an inspection at the first sign of moisture.

We start by extracting all standing water with industrial pumps and vacuums, then set up high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the space completely. We inspect for structural damage, treat for mold, and replace any water-damaged drywall, insulation, or flooring. For Edmond homes, we also assess the sump pump system and recommend upgrades like battery backups or secondary pumps to prevent future failures. Our goal is to restore your basement to a safe, dry condition as quickly as possible.
