What Water Damage Restoration Involves
What causes it
- Burst pipes
- Appliance failures
- Roof leaks
- Storm flooding
- Sewage backup
How the work is done
- 1Shut off the water source. Turn off the supply valve at the source (pipe, appliance) or shut off your home's main water supply at the meter or utility room. Do not enter standing water if electrical outlets are submerged.
- 2Cut power to affected areas. Switch off circuit breakers for all rooms with standing water. Never handle electrical switches with wet hands or while standing in water. If your panel is in the flooded area, call the utility company.
- 3Document everything before touching anything. Take video of every affected room showing water levels, the water source, and all damaged materials and items. This documentation is your insurance claim — do not clean up before recording.
- 4Call a certified water damage restoration company. Call an IICRC-certified restoration company immediately — not a plumber. Restoration companies extract water AND document your claim simultaneously. Most certified companies offer 60-minute emergency response.
- 5Call your insurance company to open a claim. Call while the restoration team is on-site. Get a claim number. Ask about your deductible, coverage for additional living expenses, and whether you need prior approval before reconstruction begins.
- 6Monitor drying progress daily. Professional technicians will return each day to check moisture readings and adjust equipment. Do not remove drying equipment early — all structural materials must reach IICRC target moisture levels before equipment is removed.
Work follows IICRC S500. Typical duration 5 days; national cost range $1,500–$9,500.

Why Glendale Homes Face Water Damage Restoration Risks
Local geography, climate, and housing stock all affect how water damage occurs in Glendale. These are the most common causes our certified teams respond to in this area.
- 1North American Monsoon (July–September) delivers 50–60% of annual rainfall in 20–45 minute bursts that drop 1.5–2 inches faster than street drains can discharge, producing immediate street and yard flooding
- 2Caliche hardpan soil beneath most west Phoenix valley properties prevents ground absorption entirely, channeling all monsoon runoff directly against foundation walls and into below-grade HVAC and storage areas
- 3Agua Fria River floodway along Glendale's western edge can carry flash flood flows exceeding 50,000 cubic feet per second during major monsoon events in the White Tank Mountains watershed
- 4Central Arizona Project canal seepage along irrigation canal corridors through the west valley causes foundation heaving and moisture intrusion in properties built adjacent to these historic waterways
- 5Monsoon haboob events damage roofing membranes, HVAC penetrations, and attic vents, creating water entry points that become apparent only during the following rain event
Local Risk Notes
Arrowhead Ranch in northwest Glendale is bordered by the Agua Fria River, which flooded adjacent communities in 2005 and 2010 — the river carries FEMA-mapped Special Flood Hazard Area designations through this corridor, yet a large share of affected homeowners carry no flood insurance because the Phoenix area is perceived as a desert market. The Maryvale area has some of the oldest storm sewer infrastructure in the west valley, and the flat topography means a 1.5-inch monsoon burst in under an hour can produce 6–12 inches of standing water in streets and driveways before the drainage system can respond.
AZ Insurance Tip
Arizona homeowners are frequently surprised to learn that standard homeowners insurance excludes all flood damage — in the Phoenix valley, where many properties sit in FEMA Zone X (minimal mapped risk), private flood insurance through surplus lines carriers is typically more affordable than NFIP policies and provides essential coverage for the monsoon flash flooding that west valley residents commonly assume will not affect their property.

How fast does mold grow after water damage?
Mold can begin colonizing within 24–48 hours in warm, humid conditions. This is why professional extraction and drying within the first hour is critical — every hour of standing water increases both structural damage and mold risk.
Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental water damage (burst pipe, appliance failure) but exclude gradual leaks and flood damage. Flood damage typically requires a separate NFIP or private flood insurance policy.
What does the restoration process involve?
A certified restoration team will:
How long does water damage restoration take?
A typical residential water damage project takes 3–7 days for structural drying, plus 1–3 weeks for reconstruction depending on the scope of material replacement.
The drying phase cannot be rushed — IICRC S500 requires moisture readings to reach target levels before reconstruction begins. Attempting to close walls before structural drying is complete traps moisture and guarantees mold within weeks.
Do I need to leave my home during water damage restoration?
For Category 1 (clean water) events in a limited area, temporary displacement is usually not required. For Category 3 (sewage or flood water) events, or for events that affect HVAC systems, sleeping areas, or large portions of the living space, temporary displacement protects your family from airborne contaminants during remediation.
Most homeowners insurance policies include Additional Living Expenses (ALE) coverage that reimburses hotel costs — confirm your ALE limit before assuming you must stay.
