Water damage restoration is believed by many to be nothing more than mopping and using some fans. But that’s not the case. Water spreads through a building and gets absorbed into drywall, leaks under the floor, saturates insulation, and soaks into framing. Allowing any of that water to remain results in warped wood floors, odors, and even mold weeks down the road. Water damage restoration means identifying where all the water is, removing it and drying materials to the proper benchmark.
Arizona Water Damage Experts takes the same approach to all our projects from start to finish according to the standard of the industry. We start with identifying the cause, categorizing the water, extracting it, scanning for moisture with meters and thermal cameras, drying out the structure with equipment and measuring to ensure we achieve the correct level of drying. From a leaking water heater in Gilbert (85234) to a monsoon flooding garage in Tucson (85710) or a burst pipe in a Prescott (86301) cabin after a freeze, we do them all.
Arizona also poses conditions that are unexpected by most other national companies; these include slab foundations, extremely hard water which corrodes the plumbing system, constant operation of air conditioners throughout the year, and monsoon rains from June to September. Our experience in Arizona has enabled us to factor all these conditions into our drying strategies. In fact, you will work with one crew all the way through your project.
Emergencies do not happen during business hours, so neither does our response process. Here is precisely what you should expect starting when you call us.
No automated menus. We ask a few quick questions, tell you how to stay safe and what to do while you wait, and send the closest crew right away.
Our trucks carry extractors, air movers, dehumidifiers and moisture detection tools, so work starts as soon as we walk in. In most Phoenix metro areas, we aim to arrive in about an hour.
We pull out standing water, then use meters and thermal cameras to find what you cannot see inside walls, ceilings and under floors.
We set up drying equipment and walk you through the plan, the timeline and the estimate, so there are no surprises.
Locate the shutoff valve for your home and turn it off. In case of a leaking appliance, close the supply lines leading to that appliance. If there’s water near electrical sockets and breaker box, stay clear. Safety first, always!
Take pictures and videos of the areas affected by the flood, the damaged items and the source of the leak. Note down the time when you discovered it. This evidence is crucial to your insurance claim and gives us a guide for our restoration process.
Move all items of value, including electronics, documents and rugs to a dry space. Leave furniture where it stands if the floor is waterlogged. Then, call us. Don’t wait to see if it “goes away by itself” – it won’t!
But not all water problems come with floods. Among the most destructive damages that happen in Arizona are those which take place over time, and without your notice. Here are some signs to look for.
Brown or tan discoloration, blisters on paint, and peeling wallpaper can mean one thing: there is moisture trapped behind these. For Arizona homes, this can mean AC drain line, roof or attic pipes leakage.
Odors which are musty or earthy, soft or crumbling drywalls, swollen baseboards, and cupping or lifting wood/laminate flooring indicate hidden water. This is commonly seen in slab leaks in Mesa (85204), Glendale (85301) and Tucson (85712).
An unexpected surge in your water bill, a spinning meter even when all appliances are turned off, and sounds of flowing water coming from walls are clear indicators of an unnoticed leak. It is important to detect leaks early so as to save on costly repairs.
Surprising to many, there is no shortage of water damage claims in the desert. This is how it all happens.
For six weeks from mid-June to late September, storms can bring heavy rains in a matter of minutes. The dry, hard earth does not absorb water, but it washes away quickly toward the garage and entrances. Rain driven by the wind manages to seep under roof shingles and flashing as ceiling water damage.
Water with a lot of minerals in Arizona slowly destroys copper pipes, water heating equipment and valves. In combination with concrete floors, a tiny leak may flow unnoticed under the floor for many months. Homes that are old and have either polybutylene or aged supply lines are at greater risk.
Air conditioning units work throughout the year and generate more water than you might expect. As a result, when the condensation line gets blocked, or the condensation pan becomes rusted out, water gets into attics, ceilings, and air handlers. This happens all the time in cities such as Chandler (85224) and Gilbert (85233).
Hoses of washing machines, dishwashers, fridge water lines, and toilets can break down at any moment. Additionally, in elevation cities such as Flagstaff (86004) and Prescott (86303), freezing in winter may cause rupturing of exposed pipes.
We do not just wing it. Every restoration project in Arizona undergoes the same methodical approach according to the scale of the damage so that nothing is overlooked and everything is accounted for.
We find out the source of the water leak, figure out what type of water is involved (clean, gray or black) and create a moisture map using meters and thermal imaging. You know our conclusions and the estimate before work even starts.
Truck-mounted and portable extractors are used to pump out the excess water and then materials that cannot be restored, like saturated padding and wet insulation are removed from the area so that the moisture won't spread.
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are installed depending on the readings, not our assumptions. We return to monitor the progress and make adjustments until all the materials are completely dry.
Areas affected by the water leak are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, moisture test is done to verify successful restoration and repairs are done or coordinated with your contractor and you get an in-depth report with pictures and moisture readings.
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.

Water damage from the first day will often result in less material removal, faster drying times and a lower overall cost. Most unexpected events like pipe bursts and appliance malfunctions are insured under homeowner’s insurance policy, and we take notes on everything that happens to give you all the information necessary for a proper claim.
Good restorations will be obvious after we’ve left: dried-out materials, clean air, no odor and no mold. Here are a few recent examples.
Before
After
1
A family from Scottsdale (85258) had just returned from a vacation to see that their laundry room, hallway, and portion of the living room have been flooded because of a faulty washing machine hose.
Water was extracted, baseboards and padding were removed, walls were opened to dry out the wall cavity, and dehumidification continued for four days.
Wood flooring in the living room survived, there was no sign of mold growth and claim was accepted based on our moisture logs.
2
An August monsoon storm caused water intrusion into a Tucson (85704) home’s garage and mud contamination of the next room.
Water was extracted using truck mounted extraction system the very day the damage occurred, mud and debris were cleaned up, area was disinfected, and the structure was dried.
Within a week the family was back to normal operations and most of flooring remained intact.
3
An obstructed AC drain line caused an overflow in an attic in Gilbert (85296) that damaged the ceiling of the master bedroom.
We released the water trapped in the ceiling, extracted the moisture-damaged insulation and drywall and re-built the ceiling.
The ceiling is now fixed and painted with no odor or stains left behind.
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.

Each scenario is a learning experience. Here are 3 scenarios we commonly encounter, and the result of our intervention.
Cracked tiles in the hallway and hot spots on the floor. Behind the baseboard, the drywall was moist and beginning to discolor.
Locating the moist area using thermal imaging, removing the damaged tiles and baseboard, drying the slab and wall cavity and coordinating with a plumber for repairs.
Turn off the water source monthly and check the meter. Even if it is not moving, you could still have an undetected leak.
Following a big storm, the bedroom ceiling began to leak and the attic insulation above it was saturated.
Removing the excess water, taking out wet insulation and drywall, drying the attic framing and the room, then repairing and painting the ceiling.
Inspect your roof and flashing annually, prior to the monsoon season.
The water heater ruptured and flooded the entire garage area and wall containing the laundry area.
We pumped out the water, pulled out the wet drywall underneath the water heater and dried the wall space and floor prior to the installation of the new water heater.
Have the water heater drained once a year and be prepared for replacement at the 10 year period.

Homeowners insurance normally covers sudden water damage like a ruptured pipe and broken appliance. This doesn’t include gradual leakages or rising flood waters without flood insurance. Arizona Water Damage Experts documents every process through photographs and moisture readings for your claim.
The normal drying time for an Arizona property takes around 3-5 days. Larger flooding, hardwood floors and wet insulations take a longer drying time. Moisture readings are taken everyday until everything is dried properly.
