Common causes in Sun City homes

Sun City opened in 1960, and much of the community dates from the 1960s and 1970s. In homes of that age, roofs, plumbing and AC systems have usually been replaced at least once, on different schedules, so any of them can be the source. The most common are:

• Monsoon roof leaks during summer storms (roof leak damage)
• AC condensate overflows from clogged drain lines (AC leak damage)
• Plumbing leaks from supply lines, attic pipes or water heaters (burst pipes)

What we are, and what we aren't

We're a referral line. We don't employ technicians, send crews, or hold a contractor license, and we don't post made-up reviews or "years in business" claims. What we offer is one number to call, answered around the clock, that gets you to a provider who covers Sun City.

Before work begins, check the provider's license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, ask for proof of insurance and get a written estimate. More about how we work.

What this line is for

Call us for active or recent water damage: water coming through a ceiling, wet walls or floors, standing water, or a leak that needs cleanup, extraction and drying. Fixing the source itself (the roof, the AC unit or the pipe) is done by a roofer, HVAC technician or plumber. Cosmetic patching of an old, dry stain is a job for a painter or drywall contractor.

What affects the cost of water cleanup and drying

• How large the wet area is and how long it stayed wet
• Whether insulation and framing above the ceiling got wet
• How many days drying equipment needs to run
• Whether the water was clean or contaminated
• Material that has to be removed. The EPA asbestos guidance notes you generally can't tell by looking whether older material contains asbestos, so testing may be needed first.

Ask for a written estimate that separates emergency cleanup and drying from any later rebuild work.

Insurance

Sudden, accidental leaks are often covered by homeowners insurance, while gradual leaks and flooding often aren't, according to state insurance regulator guidance. Take photos before cleanup and contact your insurer early.
