Water Damage Restoration in Scottsdale, AZ

Water damage in Scottsdale: what is different here

Scottsdale mixes older residential areas near Old Town and McCormick Ranch with custom homes and golf communities in the north, including DC Ranch, Troon and Pinnacle Peak. Higher value finishes such as stone and tile flooring, custom cabinetry, built in appliances and large glass walls mean a water loss gets expensive fast, and drying has to be done carefully to protect them.

Many neighborhoods built through the 1970s and 1980s are now at the age when original plumbing, water heaters and irrigation systems begin to wear out. Pools, water features and extensive landscape irrigation also add to the sources of water around a property.

If you own a second home or a rental here, consider a water shutoff valve with leak sensors. A small leak in an empty house is one of the most common ways a modest repair becomes a major claim.

Hard freezes are rare, but they do happen on cold winter nights and exposed pipes, hose bibs and irrigation lines can split.

What causes water damage in Phoenix Metro

• Monsoon storms. Dust storms and short, heavy downpours between mid June and the end of September can push water under doors, through roof flashing and into garages in a matter of minutes.
• Plumbing failures. Supply lines, water heaters, toilets and ice maker lines are behind most indoor water losses. Mineral rich water speeds up wear on fittings, valves and tank liners.
• Air conditioning leaks. Condensate drain lines clog and overflow, and evaporator coils leak into attics and closets. Heat means these systems run most of the year.
• Slab leaks. Many valley homes sit on concrete slabs, so a pinhole leak in a pipe under the slab can run for weeks before a damp floor or a high water bill gives it away.
• Roof leaks. Flat and low slope roofs, tile underlayment that has aged out and penetrations around vents and skylights let in rain at the worst moments.

Do this while you wait for help

1. Stop the source. Close the main water valve, a fixture shutoff or the appliance valve if you can reach it safely.
2. Think about electricity. If water is near outlets, a panel or wet ceilings with light fixtures, turn off power at the breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it without standing in water.
3. Protect people first. Keep children, older adults and pets away from wet areas, and stay out of anything that smells like sewage.
4. Document before you clean. Record a slow walkthrough video, then take close photos of the source, damaged materials and belongings.
5. Move what you can. Lift small furniture, electronics, documents and keepsakes onto dry surfaces, and pull rugs and cushions out of wet areas.
6. Call for help right away. Every hour of delay spreads moisture further into drywall, subfloors and insulation.
