Common calls in Tempe

Water damage restorationWater damage restoration means removing standing water, drying the building to a measured dry standard, and removing materials that can't be saved. Start within 24 to 48 hours; after that, swollen wood, delaminated drywall and mold become far more likely, even in Arizona's dry air.Burst pipe water cleanupWhen a pipe bursts, shut off the main water valve, turn off power to wet areas, then get water extracted and drying equipment running the same day. A plumber repairs the pipe; the restoration company handles the water that escaped.Emergency water extractionEmergency water extraction is the first hour of a restoration job: powerful pumps and wands pull standing water out of floors before it soaks further into walls and subfloor. Extraction removes far more water than any amount of drying equipment, so it should happen as soon as the source is stopped.Mold remediationMold remediation is containing the affected area, removing moldy porous materials, HEPA-vacuuming and cleaning what remains, and fixing the moisture source. Mold always follows water, so the leak has to be found and stopped or it comes back.

Tempe questions

A leak in my Tempe condo came from the unit above. Who pays?

It depends on your HOA's governing documents and each owner's policy. Document everything, notify the HOA and your insurer, and get drying started to limit damage while that's sorted out.

Do renters need to call a restoration company?

Tell your landlord or property manager immediately. They usually arrange restoration, but you should photograph your belongings for your renters insurance.
