Shared walls change everything. When a supply line bursts in a Tempe condo or townhome, the water does not stay in one unit. It runs under the shared wall, through the floor to the unit below or into a common hallway. That means two or three owners, an HOA and sometimes several insurance companies all need to know what happened and who is responsible. We map the moisture in every affected unit, document the source clearly and give each party the records they need, which keeps a messy situation from becoming a dispute.

Older single family homes in Tempe bring their own problems. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside and fails without warning, cast iron drains crack, and clay sewer laterals let in roots that push sewage back into tubs and floor drains. Many of these homes also have flat roof additions from past remodels, which pond water during monsoon storms. We know those patterns and check for them on every Tempe call.
