Flood damage cleanup in Mesa, AZ
Flood cleanup treats outside floodwater as contaminated: it removes water and mud, cuts out wet drywall and insulation above the waterline, sanitizes, and dries the structure. Floodwater carries sewage and chemicals, so porous materials it touched are usually discarded.

Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Mesa?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Mesa Development Services department.
How do I prevent monsoon roof leaks in Mesa?
Have flat-roof coatings and tile underlayment checked before July, and clear roof drains and scuppers.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
