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.

Carpet flooring
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.

Don’t wait till the rot sets in.
Thank you David.
He conducted a thorough inspection of every area affected by moisture and mould, carefully explaining what he was checking and why. David’s attention to detail was remarkable, he identified issues that I hadn’t noticed and provided clear, actionable advice on how to address them.
What stood out most was his ability to communicate complex technical information in a way that was easy to understand, making me feel informed and confident about the next steps. His recommendations were practical, precise, and tailored specifically to my home.
Thanks David!!
I am leaving my review based on the level of professionalism shown by David who attended our property this afternoon for water leak and mould assessment.
David travelled up from Sydney to the Central coast and even though I was 20 mins late for our appointment he was understanding, extremely polite, professional, engaging, and thorough with his report and provide his services with a smile.
Before David left he also went through and deep cleaned all the visible mould for us until the necessary repairs are made.
I was very impressed with how friendly and professional he was.
Reztor Restorations thank you.
David is representing your company at the highest level and is an asset to your company.
