3 Areas in Your Home Most Susceptible to Water Damage

Arizona is a relatively dry state compared to others in the country, but that doesn’t keep homeowners from having to deal with water damage. From torrential downpours and consistent dew build-up to busted pipes and sheer accidents, homes are subject to a lot of potential problems. Here, we’ll take a look at 3 areas in your home that are most susceptible to water damage.

1. Basement Water Damage

When there’s flooding damage in an Arizona home, there’s a good chance the basement is largely affected. Since basements are built below ground, the surrounding dirt gathers up moisture even after heavy rain and this build-up can seep into your home. The same problem persists when it floods. While bad weather is a cause of a lot of basement water damage, busted pipes are another culprit. With so much piping running through your basement or crawlspace, these areas will receive the first wave of damage.

2. Roof Water Damage

When people think of water damage, they tend to only think about basements. While flooding and busted pipes would contribute to most of the water damage found in lower parts of the home, your roof gets the brunt of any weather damage. Whether it’s the build-up of dew every morning or heavy rain during Arizona’s wet season, your roof can take a lot of water damage over time. It’s important to keep up to date with repairs to make sure everything is intact.

3. Attic Water Damage

If your roof has the potential of incurring water damage, it only makes sense that your attic is also susceptible. During consistent periods of rainfall or if you simply have a defective roof, leaks could start developing in your roof. This would bring a consistent amount of water into your attic, causing significant damage. Insulation could be ruined, ceilings could be damaged, and mold could even start growing.

Whenever you come across water damage in your home, it’s important to call a professional as soon as possible. Waiting around or trying to handle the situation yourself, can prolong the issue and exacerbate the damage. Water damage is serious and can cost you a lot of money if not handled quickly and correctly.

I hired Lotus to resolve an issue in my master bathroom. They were prompt and fixed my problem excellently. And they were cost effective. I am very happy with their work. I would use their services again. Call them. They will take care of you.

If I could recommend sainthood it would go to Jill at Lotus restoration services. To make a long short she literally saved us thousands of dollars of expenses. We live 1200 miles from the property we were having issues with. My wife and I talked to over a dozen of different vendors doing various tasks and we spend plenty of money doing so. We received Jills information from one of those vendors and found out that the problem wasn't even ours. Jill took the bull by the horns, made calls on our behalf and lined up what really needed to be done for the tenant below us that was really having the issue. I swear I wouldn't look anywhere else. She's amazing and her customer service is the way customer service should based on. Thank you Jill.

We had a small issue that needed a professional opinion. Even though this was not something that benefited Lotus financially, Jill demonstrated great knowledge and was more than helpful in answering and resolving our questions. Problem solved!

We had an AC water leak in our attic and needed to see if we had black mold as a result. Our appointment was quickly scheduled, Josh arrived 15 minutes early and was incredibly polite, thorough and honest. We are VERY impressed with this company and will use them for future construction repair needs.

I called Lotus on a Sunday night because my AC was leaking into my Ceiling. Jill gave recommendations for HVAC Companies to fix the leak and had a Lotus crew to my house the next morning to clear out the damaged ceiling and to dry out the area. Chris (who worked on everything) was wonderful with answering all of my questions and very responsive to texts. If I could give more stars I would.

Matt Ross was awesome! His professionalism, mannerism, communication, and sweet soul made the experience so much more easier to deal with. Matt actually made me feel like I mattered and the fact that he was not settling for half doing the job really wowed me. He treated my family like his own. Way to go Matt!!!!
