Water damage restoration in Chandler, AZ

Chandler grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, so most of its homes are two-story stucco houses on slabs with attic AC units. That makes second-floor bathroom leaks, attic condensate overflows and failed supply lines the calls that come up again and again, along with slab leaks in the older neighborhoods north of the 202.

Chandler homes and water

Two-story homes are the norm in much of Chandler. A leak in an upstairs bathroom or laundry room drops water into the first-floor ceiling, which means drying both floors and often opening the ceiling below.

Common calls in Chandler

Ceiling leak water damageCeiling water damage comes from above: an attic AC unit's condensate line or pan, a roof leak, or a supply pipe in the attic. Wet insulation is removed, the ceiling is dried or cut out, and the source is repaired before the ceiling is patched and textured.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.Structural drying & dehumidificationStructural drying removes water from inside materials, not just from the surface. Technicians set air movers and dehumidifiers based on a moisture map and take readings every day until wet materials match dry reference readings from unaffected parts of the house.Water heater & appliance leak cleanupAppliance leaks usually release clean water, but often under cabinets and flooring where nobody sees it. Shut off the appliance's supply valve, extract the water, and get flooring, cabinets and wall bottoms measured and dried before they swell or grow mold.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.

Water from upstairs came through my Chandler ceiling. What now?
