What's different in Phoenix?
Phoenix water damage peaks in monsoon season - July-to-September microbursts drive rain under parapet flat roofs and through evaporative-cooler penetrations. The rest of the year it's failed water heaters, AC condensate lines, and supply lines aged by hard water. Desert heat dries surfaces deceptively fast while wall cavities stay wet - which is exactly where mold starts.
Monsoon wind damage and wind-driven rain are standard homeowner's coverage in Arizona, but street or wash flooding entering the home is not - that requires separate flood insurance. Sudden plumbing failures fall under the standard policy.
Your call goes to a crew based in the Phoenix area. Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Glendale, and all of Maricopa County.
Practical details for families in Phoenix
After a death or serious injury at home, police investigate, and the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner investigates reportable deaths. Its Family Advocate, (602) 506-3176, answers family questions. Arizona law defines medical waste as waste from diagnosing, treating or immunizing people or animals, so a home cleanup is not automatically regulated medical-waste work. Ask any provider how it will package, transport and dispose of what it removes. If a crime caused the harm, Arizona's Crime Victim Compensation Program can help pay to clean a residence. In Phoenix, call the Maricopa County Attorney's Office at (602) 506-4955. The crime generally must be reported to police within 72 hours, and insurance and other sources pay first.
Common questions
Do we need to be there?
No. Many families hand over a key and stay elsewhere. The crew keeps you updated as much - or as little - as you'd like.
How soon can someone come?
Whenever you're ready - today if you want, or after family has had time. The line is answered by a person around the clock.
Is this covered by insurance?
Homeowner's policies sometimes cover biohazard cleanup, depending on the cause and your policy's terms. Review your policy, including endorsements. After a crime, your state's crime victim compensation program may help with cleanup costs. Ask the contractor about documentation and coordination with your insurer.
