Don’t Let A Wet Concrete
Slab Ruin Your Expensive Floors - Talk To The Concrete Drying Experts
Concrete drying is a job for professional restoration experts.
You must remove excess moisture from the slab
You may be noticing warping timber, blistering linoleum, or rippling carpets and wondering how the installation could have gone so wrong. In many cases, the issue isn’t defective flooring at all — it’s hidden moisture in the concrete slab beneath. Most flooring problems stem from excess moisture, and without proper concrete drying, your floors will continue to fail. That’s when it’s time to call the experts at Reztor Restoration.
If you’ve experienced flooding, your floors will never be safe unless your concrete slab is completely dry. Replacing carpet, timber, or vinyl over a damp slab is like throwing money away. As the moisture rises, adhesives break down, timber rots, and microbial bacteria spreads. That hidden moisture can also create perfect conditions for mould growth and poor indoor air quality.
Our technicians use industry-leading Tramex moisture meters to detect moisture deep within concrete and track the drying process from start to finish. We follow internationally recognised drying guidelines, including the IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration and the ASTM F2170 concrete testing standard, to verify when slabs have reached the correct moisture level for flooring installation.
Every property is different — factors such as slab thickness, subfloor design, ambient humidity, and the type of floor coverings all influence drying time. While some concrete drying jobs can be resolved in just a few days, larger or saturated slabs may require several weeks of controlled drying and monitoring. That’s why professional assessment and continuous moisture testing are essential to avoid recurring failures and costly replacements.

Specialised Equipment is required or your slab won’t dry for months!
Concrete drying is a specialist job that demands the expertise of trained restoration professionals. With the right commercial-grade equipment and proven methods, it can be completed thoroughly and safely. Attempting it without professional knowledge often leaves excess moisture behind — which is why standard cleaning contractors cannot provide a reliable solution.
At Reztor, our certified technicians combine years of experience with advanced drying systems to remove moisture from deep within the slab. We integrate our structural drying and water damage assessment services to ensure every concrete slab is fully restored, protecting your floors, finishes, and long-term investment.
Containment Chambers
Containment is the process of trapping moisture in a small area to isolate and evaporate the moisture faster and more effectively.
Non-evasive Meters And Thermo-hygrometers
This advanced water detection equipment calculates the humidity of the concrete, determining whether the humidity level is safe for your flooring.
Heat Drying Equipment
We make use of specialised heat drying equipment to heat the concrete flooring creating evaporation to release the deep bound moisture from the slab.
Low Grain Refrigerant Dehumidifiers
This device removes moisture more effectively by lowering the temperature of the air it processes.
Air Movers
Reztor has a vast range of air movers to facilitate a faster concrete drying service.

They explained everything clearly, set up their drying equipment, and made sure the damage was under control before they left. It’s rare to find a company that combines speed, expertise, and genuine care the way Reztor does. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
What impressed me most was how quickly they had our home back to normal — no musty smell, no mould issues, and they saved our carpet when I thought it would have to be replaced. Their equipment was top notch, and they kept us updated at every step.
I’m really grateful for the service and honesty from Reztor. If you ever have wet carpet or water damage, I can’t recommend them enough!
