Water damage incidents can be overwhelming, often occurring suddenly and unexpectedly. If you face such a situation, here are the critical steps to take for your safety and to minimize damage: 

1. Locate The Source & Turn Off Your Water: If a leak or flooding is active, locate and shut off your main water supply to prevent further damage. Ensure it's safe to access the main water line before attempting this step. 
2. Turn Off Your Power: To avoid potential electrocution risks, turn off your electricity where water intrusion is occurring. Even minor leaks can turn hazardous quickly. 
3. Call a Reputable Water Damage Company: Contact Arizona Restoration Contractors immediately. Our 24/7 emergency response team will address the source, stop the water flow, extract standing water, dry the area, and restore your property to prevent mold growth. We manage every step, working directly with your insurance provider to simplify your claim process. 

Remove Any Valuables (If Possible): If it's safe, remove essential valuables from the affected area. However, we caution against entering spaces contaminated by sewage or electrified water.

Understanding your homeowner's insurance policy's coverage for water damage is essential. Coverage often depends on the cause of the damage and specific policy terms. 

Typically Covered: 

• Sudden & Accidental Damage: Events like burst pipes or malfunctioning appliances are generally covered. 
• Storm Damage: Damage from wind, hail, or frozen plumbing is often included. 
• Vandalism: Intentional flooding caused by acts of vandalism is usually insured. 
• Fire Extinguishing Water Damage: Damage resulting from firefighter efforts is typically covered. 

Typically Not Covered: 

• Neglect or Poor Maintenance: Damage caused by ignored leaks or poor upkeep may not be insured. 
• Floods: Flood damage from natural disasters requires separate flood insurance. 
• Sewer Backups: Sewer or drain backups aren't covered unless explicitly included in your policy. 
• Ground Seepage: Water entering through the ground isn't typically insured under standard policies.

At Arizona Restoration Contractors, we follow a proven water damage remediation process that ensures effective cleanup and restoration. Here's what we do:

Water damage is categorized into three types by the IICRC, each requiring specific handling methods to prevent health risks and additional damage. 

1. Category 1 – Clean Water: Comes from a sanitary source such as broken water supply lines. Left untreated, it can degrade into more dangerous categories. 
2. Category 2 – Grey Water: This type contains contaminants and can cause illness if ingested. Common sources include washing machine or dishwasher discharges. 
3. Category 3 – Black Water: Highly contaminated water that poses severe health risks. It originates from sewage backups, natural floods, or stagnant water harboring bacteria.
