Common property damage problems in Tempe

The risks in Tempe in Maricopa County are shaped by Arizona's climate and housing. Arizona's monsoon season brings sudden, intense downpours and flash flooding onto hard, dry soil, while the rest of the year the most common water losses come from supply-line failures, slab leaks and air-conditioning condensate overflow in homes that run cooling for months at a time. Wildfire smoke and soot are a growing concern in foothill and high-country communities. Problems tend to peak during monsoon season (roughly july through september), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Monsoon downpours that overwhelm flat roofs, scuppers and drainage
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances

When and where damage happens in Tempe

Whatever the construction type in Tempe, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Monsoon season produces the dramatic flooding, but the steady year-round work is supply line failures, water heaters and air-conditioning condensate leaks. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. The long wet season keeps crawlspaces, siding and window frames damp, and mold follows wherever drying lags behind the rain.
