A pressurized water line may leak as many as several gallons per minute. A burst pipe in the wall, a leaking braided water supply line under the sink or a leaking fitting on an ice maker line may spread an inch of water all over the room before anyone realizes it. Plumbing leaks and burst pipes cause water damage silently, soaking cabinet bases and drywalls in the process over weeks. Arizona Water Damage Experts removes water damage caused by such incidents and repairs the water leaks.
We serve Arizona homeowners who have burst pipes and plumbing leaks in Phoenix (85032), Scottsdale (85258), Gilbert (85234), Sun City (85351) and Tucson (85710). We collaborate with your plumber or recommend one, who will fix the plumbing problem as fast as possible.

The water coming from the supply line is relatively clean when it exits the pipe, but that doesn’t last for too long because it flows into wall cavities, underneath baseboards, and beneath cabinets, where it becomes contaminated and begins deteriorating within a couple days. The aim of the cleanup is to ensure the extraction of clean water, and locate all areas the water penetrated and dry off the materials that were affected before they begin to swell, delaminate, or develop mold.
Standing water is pumped out using truck and portable extractors, after which moisture meters and thermal cameras are used to trace the water in the walls, ceiling, and floor. Wet drywall is usually dried in place through holes drilled behind the baseboards. Water-saturated insulation, swelling particleboard, and carpet padding are removed. The dehumidifiers and air movers are operated until the readings indicate that the structure has been dried and coordination of the reconstruction follows the work of the plumber.
Arizona plumbing has its own weak points. Hard water wears down copper from the inside and leads to pinhole leaks. Older homes built from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s may still have polybutylene supply lines that crack without warning. Plastic and braided supply lines fail with age, and occasional winter freezes split exposed pipes in garages, attics and backyard plumbing.
Water from a broken line keeps flowing until it is stopped, so speed matters. Here is how we respond.
If water is still running, we walk you through finding and closing the main shut-off valve while the crew is dispatched.
Our crew begins pulling water from floors and carpet right away to limit how much soaks into walls and subfloors.
Meters and thermal cameras show how far the water traveled inside walls, under cabinets and into rooms next door.
We set up drying equipment, explain the plan and estimate, and coordinate with your plumber so the repair and drying happen together.
In most Arizona homes the main shut-off is near where the water line enters the house, often on an exterior wall facing the street or in the garage. Turn it clockwise until it stops. For a single fixture, close the angle stop under it.
If water is near outlets, appliances or a ceiling light, switch off those circuits at the breaker panel, but only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
Open a faucet at the lowest point to drain pressure from the lines. Photograph the leak and the damage, then call (602) 835-1948.
Not every leak bursts. Many drip inside walls or under floors for weeks. These are the clues.
Turn off every fixture and appliance and watch the meter for 15 minutes. If the leak indicator still spins, water is escaping somewhere.
Particleboard under kitchen and bathroom sinks swells and crumbles when a supply line or drain slowly leaks. Check with a flashlight every few months.
Brown rings on a ceiling below a bathroom or soft drywall near a shower valve often mean a leaking pipe or fitting inside the wall.
A burst line can soak a room in minutes, and slow leaks feed mold within a day or two. The faster water is removed and drying starts, the more drywall, cabinets and flooring we can save. Call Arizona Water Damage Experts now.
These are the plumbing failures behind most of the water damage calls we take in Arizona.
Arizona’s mineral-heavy water slowly erodes copper pipe from the inside. Pinhole leaks often appear in walls and ceilings of homes 20 years and older.
Gray polybutylene pipe installed from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s becomes brittle and can split at fittings without warning.
Braided supply lines to toilets, faucets and washers, and the small shut-off valves they connect to, wear out and burst, often while no one is home.
A few hard freezes most winters can split uninsulated pipes in garages, attics and outdoor plumbing, especially around Tucson and the higher deserts.
Each burst pipe or leak job follows the same steps so the damage is fully addressed and nothing is left wet.
We confirm the leak is stopped, identify what failed and create a moisture map of every affected wall, ceiling and floor.
Water is extracted and only materials that cannot be dried, such as soaked pad, swollen particleboard and wet insulation, are removed.
Dehumidifiers, air movers and wall cavity systems run while we log moisture readings each day until every material reaches goal.
Once the plumber has repaired the line and the structure is dry, drywall, baseboards, cabinets and flooring are repaired or replaced.
Water damage can take different forms, and thus each requires a unique treatment. Arizona Water Damage Experts provides all types of water damage repair services under one roof so that you will not have to juggle many contractors.

Insurance usually covers sudden and accidental water damage from a burst pipe or failed supply line. Slow leaks that went on for weeks are often treated differently. We photograph the failed part, map the damage and log readings, which helps your adjuster see what happened and when.
Clean water from a burst pipe is far easier to dry than water that has sat for days. Arizona Water Damage Experts answers 24 hours a day and sends a crew equipped to extract, trace and dry right away.
Fast extraction and careful drying mean less tear-out and a faster return to normal. These projects are typical of our plumbing leak work.
Before
After
1
A polybutylene supply line split inside the hallway wall of a 1988 Phoenix (85032) home overnight, soaking carpet in two bedrooms and the hall.
We extracted the carpet, removed the pad, dried the wall cavity through the baseboard line and ran dehumidifiers for three days while a plumber repiped the line.
The carpet was reinstalled with new pad, only a small section of drywall was replaced, and the claim was supported by our logs.
2
A braided toilet supply line burst in the upstairs bathroom of a Gilbert (85234) home while the family was at work, sending water through the kitchen ceiling.
We opened the wet ceiling drywall, removed soaked insulation, dried the framing and subfloor and protected the kitchen cabinets.
The ceiling was rebuilt in a week and the cabinets were saved.
3
A pinhole leak in a copper line behind a Sun City (85351) shower wall had been dripping for weeks before the owner noticed a musty smell.
Thermal imaging located the wet area. We removed the damaged drywall, dried the cavity and confirmed no mold had developed before the plumber made the repair.
The owner received a full photo report and recommendations for a whole-house plumbing check.
Immediate response, honest opinion, and dry home top the list of concerns of the customers.
We had a leak coming through the ceiling at midnight. They answered within two rings and came to us in less than an hour. They remained cool headed, guided us through and saved our flooring.

Plumbing leaks start in different places but cause similar damage. Here are three common situations and how they ended.
A kitchen sink supply line had dripped into the cabinet base for weeks, swelling the particleboard floor and wicking into the wall behind it.
We removed the cabinet floor and the wet drywall behind it, dried the area and the plumber replaced the supply lines and angle stops.
Look under your sinks every few months, and replace plastic supply lines with braided stainless steel.
A washing machine hose burst during a spin cycle and flooded the laundry room and hallway.
Water was extracted, baseboards were removed to dry the wall cavities, and dehumidifiers ran for three days.
Replace rubber washer hoses with braided hoses and turn off the washer valves when you travel.
An outdoor pipe split during a freeze and water ran into the garage and the wall shared with the house.
We extracted the garage, dried the shared wall and replaced the lower drywall on the house side.
Insulate exposed pipes in garages and outdoors before winter, and cover hose bibs during freeze warnings.
Answers to common questions about plumbing leak and burst pipe water damage in Arizona.
In case of a burst pipe or plumbing leak causing water damage, turn off the water at the mains when it is safe to do so. Be careful of electrical hazards, move away any valuable items from the area and call AZ Water Damage Experts for water damage repair and clean up services.
When you have a burst pipe water damage problem, it must be attended to urgently. Water could seep into the dry wall, floors, insulation and other material within minutes. Immediate water removal, drying and moisture monitoring will help keep further damage to your Arizona property at bay.
Water removal and cleanup of the burst pipe damage is usually done by water extraction, inspection of the affected area, moisture detection, structural drying and dehumidification. Based on the extent of the damage caused, additional cleaning, removal of affected materials and other restoration work might be required.
Yes, a minor leak in the plumbing system will lead to severe damage in case it is left unchecked. The leaking water pipes located inside the walls, underneath the sink, or below the floors may damage construction materials and provide room for the development of molds.
Depending on the terms of homeowners insurance and the circumstances surrounding the occurrence of the damage, your insurance company may pay for the damage caused by the burst water pipes. Neglect, leaking pipes, and the possibility of freezing may have certain exclusions. Contact your insurance company to find out if you have any coverage and to report the damage.
Depending on the volume of water leakage, the extent of the damage caused, and the area affected by the moisture, the restoration process will take various amounts of time. Some damages caused by the leak may be minor and may take just some drying up, while the damage caused by the bursting pipe will take days to repair.
Mold can grow in building materials if there is moisture present, even in the relatively dry environment of Arizona. Moisture that has collected behind walls, underneath carpeting, or inside cabinets may be conducive to mold growth. Removing the water quickly and drying the structure will minimize the potential of mold growth.
