What happened?
Start with the closest match
Storm water came in under a door or through a wall
Summer storms can push rain across yards and patios faster than it drains. Water that enters at ground level is often muddy, so floors and the bottom of walls need cleaning as well as drying.
Monsoon and roof leak damageRight now
- Stay out of water that could reach outlets or cords.
- Photograph the water line on walls and furniture.
- Lift rugs, boxes and furniture off the wet floor.
- Call about extraction before it soaks in further.
Water is coming up through the floor
A damp patch on tile or carpet, a warm spot underfoot or a meter that keeps turning can mean a leak under or inside the concrete slab. A plumber finds and fixes the line; the wet flooring and walls still need drying.
Slab leak damageRight now
- Close the main water valve if the meter keeps moving.
- Mark the wet or warm area with tape.
- Photograph the floor and any lifting tile.
- Call a plumber for the leak and a contractor for the water.
A pipe or supply line burst
Pressurised water spreads quickly through walls and under cabinets. The faster the main valve is closed, the smaller the job.
Burst pipe damageRight now
- Close the main shut-off valve.
- Cut power to wet rooms from a dry spot.
- Open a low outside faucet to drain the lines.
- Photograph the break and every wet area.
Water is dripping through the ceiling
Ponding on a flat roof, a blocked scupper, worn tile underlayment or an overflowing AC drain pan can all show up as a ceiling stain. Wet drywall overhead is heavy and can sag.
Roof leak damageRight now
- Keep everyone out from under a sagging ceiling.
- Put a bucket under the drip and move valuables.
- Switch off ceiling lights and fans at the breaker.
- Photograph the stain before it changes.
The short version
What restoration means in a Mesa house
Restoration is the work between the leak being stopped and the house being back to normal. Standing water is pulled out, wet materials are dried or removed, and moisture is measured until the readings say the structure is dry. Then come the repairs.
Speed matters more than people expect. Drywall wicks water upward, carpet pad holds it, and wood framing swells. The longer water sits, the more has to be removed instead of dried, and the more likely mold becomes.
A call to this line reaches an independent contractor who does that work. Describe what happened and they will tell you what they would do next and what it involves. You decide whether to go ahead.

Local facts worth knowing
Your side of the meter
The City of Mesa repairs leaks at water meters and mains. Leaks past the meter, including the line into the house and all indoor plumbing, are the owner's to fix.
Sewer lines
The city handles the sewer main in the street or alley. The connection to the main and the line to the house belong to the property owner, who is responsible for keeping the lateral clean.

Before you call
Who answers when I call?
Your call is routed to an independent restoration contractor that works in Mesa and nearby towns, sometimes through a referral network first. This site is not a contractor and sends no one out itself.
Which parts of Mesa does the line cover?
The line takes calls from homes across Mesa and the nearby towns listed on this site. The contractor you speak with confirms whether they work at your address before anything is arranged.
What will the work cost?
The contractor prices the job after seeing it. The things that move the price are how much material got wet, whether the water was clean or contaminated, how long it sat, how many rooms are involved and whether rebuilding is part of the job.
Am I committed to anything by calling?
No. You can listen, ask questions and decide later. Many people call their insurer before agreeing to any work.
When should I call 911 instead?
Call 911 for fire, injury, a gas smell or downed power lines. The City of Mesa also lists 480-644-4277 for gas emergencies and 480-644-2262 for water emergencies such as a leak in the street.
