Water Damage Questions from Peoria, AZ
Short answers to what Peoria homeowners and renters ask about leaks and cleanup.
Common questions
Where is my main shut-off valve?
Where the water line enters the house, often near the front hose bib or in the garage. The City meter box near the street also has a valve.
How do I know if I have polybutylene pipe?
Look near the water heater and under sinks. Gray flexible plastic pipe stamped PB2110 is polybutylene.
Why does hard water matter?
Scale wears out water heaters, copper and appliance valves sooner, so leaks are more common.
How fast must things dry?
The EPA advises drying within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold.
Is water damage covered by insurance?
Sudden damage like a burst hose often is. Flood, wear and slow leaks usually are not.
How do I check a company?
Check its license with the Arizona ROC and ask about IICRC certification and insurance.
Can I stay home during drying?
Usually yes. The equipment is loud for a few days.
Can renters call?
Yes. Tell your landlord right away.
