A burst pipe at 2 a.m., a monsoon leak through the roof, or a washing machine hose that gives out while you are at work — water damage rarely happens at a convenient time. In the Phoenix Valley, where summer storms and aging plumbing can turn a small leak into a big problem fast, knowing what to do in the first hours makes all the difference.


Step one is always safety. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off the power to the affected area. Then stop the source if you can do so safely — shut off the main water valve for a plumbing leak, or place a bucket under a roof drip.


Next, document everything. Take photos and video of the damage before anything is moved. Your insurance company will want a clear record of what happened and when.


Then act fast on the water itself. Standing water and soaked materials can begin to grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, especially in Arizona's heat. The sooner professional water extraction and structural drying begin, the more of your home and belongings can be saved — and the lower the repair bill is likely to be.
