Water Damage Restoration in Tempe Gardens, AZ

Many Tempe Gardens lots still run SRP flood irrigation — the old lateral system that floods a yard several inches deep to water mature trees and grass. It is a Tempe tradition and great for the landscaping, but it also puts a large volume of water right up against the house on a schedule. When a gate sticks, a berm fails, or the yard grade has settled over the years, that water can seep under a slab or over a low threshold and into the home.

These are slab-on-grade block homes, so once water gets under the slab edge it wicks into the block wall base and the drywall above it, the same as any slab leak. We separate irrigation seepage from a plumbing failure, extract what came in, and dry the wall and floor assemblies so a wet spring irrigation day does not turn into a summer mold problem.

We work the central Tempe grid around Tempe Gardens — the streets off Southern Avenue, Mill Avenue, and Hardy Drive — and we know the older irrigated lots and how their yards drain. That helps us trace where outside water is actually getting in instead of guessing.

One Tempe Gardens call came in the morning after an irrigation run: water had seeped along a settled slab edge and into a back bedroom overnight. We extracted the carpet and pad, dried the slab and wall base, and walked the owner through regrading the problem corner so it would not repeat.
