Water damage restoration in Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix water damage rarely looks like a flood. It's usually a failed supply line, a water heater worn out by hard water, a slab leak or a roof that let monsoon rain through. Most Valley homes are slab-on-grade stucco with tile or foam roofs, and much of the housing went up from the 1970s onward, so many houses are on their second or third water heater.

Local conditions
What causes water damage in Phoenix
Older central Phoenix neighborhoods have galvanized and early copper lines; newer subdivisions in the West Valley and East Valley often use PEX or polybutylene in homes built around the 1980s and '90s. Polybutylene in particular has a reputation for failing at fittings.
Monsoon roof leaks
July through September storms bring sudden, intense rain and wind. Flat and low-slope roofs with aging coatings leak into ceilings and walls.
Hard water failures
Valley water is very hard. Mineral buildup wears out braided supply lines, toilet fill valves and water heaters, which often fail without warning.
Slab leaks
Pipes run under the slab. A leak shows up as warm spots on the floor, a running meter or damp baseboards.

FAQ
Phoenix questions
Does water damage dry faster in Phoenix's dry air?
Surfaces dry faster, but water trapped under tile, in walls and in cabinets still needs extraction and measured drying. Dry air can also make surfaces look dry while the inside is wet.
Do repairs need a permit in Phoenix?
Many repairs involving plumbing, electrical or structural changes need a permit from the City of Phoenix or your city. Ask your contractor, and verify their Arizona ROC license.
