Before anyone arrives

Water in your Page home? Start here

Go through these in order and skip anything that doesn't feel safe. None of it is worth getting hurt over.

  1. Shut off the water

    Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.

  2. Stay clear of the power

    If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.

  3. Take pictures first

    Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.

  4. Rescue what you can

    Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.

  5. Let the air move

    If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

Typical build year

Where to look first in a Page home of this age

If your house dates from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s, take a look at the pipes. Polybutylene went into a lot of homes in those years. It's gray plastic, and it has a habit of failing with no warning. You can often spot it at the water heater or under a sink.

Then there's the water heater itself. Most tanks last 8 to 12 years, so a house this age is probably on its second or third, and yours may be getting close. If you see polybutylene, it's worth asking a plumber about it, even if nothing's leaking yet.

Why water behaves differently in Page

Weather

You can go months without thinking about rain, and then it all comes at once. Monsoon storms flood streets and yards in minutes and find every crack in an aging roof. Up in the higher country, a cold snap can freeze an exposed pipe just as easily as anywhere in the north.

Buildings

A slab leak is a common problem here, and tile floors hide it well. Flat roofs and parapets hold water if a drain clogs. Evaporative coolers and air conditioning units sit up on the roof, so when one leaks, it's your ceiling that finds out first.

Ground

Baked ground acts more like a parking lot than a sponge. Rain runs off it fast, collects in low spots and pushes against anything in its way. If your yard slopes toward your home, or the patio has settled, you may find out in the first monsoon storm.

Drying

Desert air can dry a surface in hours and leave the slab below it wet. So the drying goes where the water is, with suction floor mat systems over tile and injectors feeding air into wall cavities.

When you call

How a Page water job goes after you call

We'll ask where you are, what happened and whether the water's still running. That takes a couple of minutes. Then we'll connect you with a specialist from our network who works in Coconino County, and you can ask them when they can be there before you hang up. Homes and commercial buildings are both fine.

Water travels through walls without leaving a mark, so the first step is measuring, not mopping. A thermal camera and moisture meters map the wet area. Next comes the question of what's in the water. Category 1 is clean supply water. Category 2 has been in contact with something, like a dishwasher overflow. Category 3 is sewage or floodwater, and it calls for containment: plastic sheeting, plus negative air machines with HEPA filters, so nothing spreads through the house.

Getting the water out is the quick part. A truck-mounted or portable extractor handles that. After that, air movers sweep across wet surfaces, and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers take that moisture out of the room. In cold or dense spaces, desiccant dehumidifiers work better. You'll hear the machines day and night for a while, and daily psychrometric readings of the air show that they're working.

A wall can feel dry and still hold plenty of water. That's why the specialist measures a dry standard from unaffected wood and drywall nearby and keeps the equipment running until the wet areas match. This is the method in the IICRC S500 standard, and those moisture logs back up your insurance claim.

What you can save and what has to go in Page

It depends mostly on how fast drying starts and how dirty the water was. With clean water, carpet can usually stay and the pad goes. Hardwood often comes back with drying mats and patience, and sanding can take care of what's left. Walls may only need a flood cut, which removes the bottom section of drywall, so the rest stays put.

If it was sewage or floodwater, porous things usually can't be saved. Carpet, pad and soaked insulation go in the dumpster, and studs and hard floors get cleaned and disinfected. Keep clear of any gas appliance that was underwater, and of any floor with a bit of bounce, until a professional has checked them.

What people in Page ask us

How fast can someone get to me in Page?

We aim to have a specialist on the way the same day, often within hours. When a big storm hits all of Coconino County at once, it can take longer, so it pays to call early. The steps above will help while you wait.

Can I clean up water damage myself?

A small spill of clean water on a hard floor? Sure. Towels and a fan will do it. But if the water's in the walls, the carpet pad or the subfloor, or it came from a sewer or a flood, you'll want it extracted and properly dried. What you can't see is what keeps causing damage.

How long does it take to dry out a house?

A small leak that's caught early may dry in two or three days. A flooded room with wet subfloor and insulation can take a week or more, and repairs start after that.

Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?

Hardwood is more forgiving than people think. Floor drying mats pull moisture up through the boards, and refinishing can take care of what's left. Carpet can usually stay if the water was clean, as long as the pad's replaced. If the water was dirty, it can't.

Will my insurance pay for water damage?

Many water losses are covered, so it's worth checking. The usual line is sudden versus gradual: a burst supply line is generally covered, and a slow drip often isn't. Flood damage needs a separate flood policy, and a sewer backup may need an extra rider.
