Guadalupe is a town of slightly less than one square mile, and more than one in six of its homes were built in the 1940s or 1950s (US Census ACS). DRR finds where the water went, dries to IICRC S500, documents every step for your carrier and can make the repairs afterward.
Water damage restoration for the Town of Guadalupe
Guadalupe was incorporated in 1975, but its history dates back to 1907. The Town describes itself as a Native American and Hispanic community and as home to three cultures, one of them the Pascua Yaqui. Homes here range widely in age: the median was built in 1993, yet 18% went up in the 1940s or 1950s, and the Town publishes its own requirements for manufactured homes. Before deciding what has to come out, we measure moisture with meters and thermal imaging in every room the water may have reached.
Guadalupe · Local Loss Types
Where water damage starts in Guadalupe homes
Hard water from Tempe's system
The City of Tempe supplies Guadalupe's water, and its 2025 report gives an average hardness of 12.3 grains per gallon, with a range of 10.4 to 32.6. Over time, water that hard leaves scale in water heaters, valves and faucets.
Homes from the 1940s and 1950s
About 18% of Guadalupe homes were built in the 1940s or 1950s (US Census ACS). In houses that age, original drain lines, supply pipes and shutoff valves may still be in service, and they're worth inspecting before they fail.
Sewer backups
The Town of Guadalupe runs its own sewer service. If a drain backs up into the house, treat it as contaminated: keep people out and don't clean it with household products. Under IICRC S500 it's Category 3 water.
Manufactured homes
Manufactured homes sit on a raised frame, so a leak inside can drain into the space below the floor. We check the underside and skirting, not just the floor you can see.
Monsoon rain and roof leaks
Summer monsoon storms bring wind-driven rain that can get past worn roofing, flashing and window seals. Water from a roof leak often runs along framing before it shows on a ceiling, so the stain isn't always right under the source.
One record for you and your adjuster
Before we move anything, we photograph the source and the affected rooms. Daily readings and equipment logs go into one file that you and your adjuster can both use.

Assessment & Documentation
Moisture mapping with pin and pinless meters and thermal imaging across every affected area. The source of the loss is identified and photographed before work begins.
Water Extraction
Standing water is extracted and the water is categorized under IICRC S500 — clean supply line, gray, or contaminated — because the category drives both the work and your carrier's coverage review.
Structural Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers are placed for the loss class, with moisture readings logged daily. Equipment stays until materials reach dry standard, not on a fixed timer.

Adjuster-ready file with readings, equipment logs and photos. Repairs and rebuild under one contractor, AZ ROC #349012.

FAQ
Water damage restoration Guadalupe — FAQ
Do you work in Guadalupe?
Yes, throughout the Town of Guadalupe, from Avenida del Yaqui to the Highline Canal. A live person answers 24/7 and a crew is sent as soon as you call.
My drain backed up into the house. Is that a plumbing problem or a cleanup problem?
Usually both. A plumber clears the line; we handle the contaminated water. Sewage is Category 3 under IICRC S500, so affected porous materials such as carpet and pad are removed, and the area is cleaned, treated and dried.
Is the water in Guadalupe hard?
Yes. Guadalupe gets its water from the City of Tempe, whose 2025 report lists an average hardness of 12.3 grains per gallon. Over time that leaves scale in water heaters and fixtures, so have older ones checked.
I rent my home. Can I still call you?
Yes. Call us to stop the damage, and let your landlord know right away. The owner's insurance usually covers the building; a renter's policy may cover your belongings.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. DRR has worked claims with State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, American Family and others across the Phoenix metro. We document the loss the way adjusters need it and can work directly with your adjuster.
Can you make the repairs after drying?
Yes. DRR is a licensed Arizona contractor (AZ ROC #349012), so drywall, flooring, cabinets and paint can be handled by the same contractor that dried your home.
