Water Damage Restoration
Water Damage Restoration in Flagstaff, Sedona, Williams, the Verde Valley, and Nearby Areas
24/7 water removal and cleanup
When water gets into a house, the first few hours decide how big the job becomes. Drywall wicks water up from the floor, subfloors swell, and mold can start growing within 48 to 72 hours. Mammoth Restoration's water mitigation crew dispatches 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Flagstaff and Northern Arizona to stop the water, pull it out and start drying before the damage spreads.
Call 928-714-0050 any time. If it is not an emergency, you can also request an estimate.
What to do right now
- Shut off the water. If a pipe or appliance is leaking, close the main shutoff valve.
- Stay away from electricity. If water is near outlets, cords or the electrical panel, turn off the breaker to that area only if you can reach it safely. If you can't, stay out.
- Take photos of the damage before anything is moved. Your insurance adjuster will want them.
- Move what you can out of the wet area: rugs, furniture, boxes, electronics.
- Call us. The sooner extraction and drying start, the less has to be torn out.
How we handle a water loss
1. Inspection and moisture mapping. A technician finds where the water came from and uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to trace where it went, including inside walls and under floors.
2. Water extraction. Truck-mounted and portable extractors remove standing water from floors, carpet and pad.
3. Controlled demolition, only where needed. Materials that can't be dried in place, such as soaked insulation, swollen baseboard or saturated drywall, are removed so the structure behind them can dry.
4. Structural drying. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers run until our readings show the framing, subfloor and drywall are back to dry standard. We check and log moisture levels daily.
5. Cleaning and sanitizing. Affected surfaces and salvageable contents are cleaned and treated. If belongings need to come out of the house, we pack them out, clean them and bring them back.
6. Rebuild. Our reconstruction team replaces the drywall, flooring, trim and paint that had to come out, so you deal with one company from the first call to the final walkthrough.
What causes water damage in Flagstaff
At 7,000 feet, winter does most of it. Pipes freeze and split in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls. Ice dams back meltwater up under shingles. Spring snowmelt finds its way into basements and crawl spaces, and summer monsoon storms push water under doors and through window wells. The rest of the year it is the usual suspects: water heaters, washing machine hoses, dishwasher and refrigerator lines, and slow leaks under sinks.
Whatever the source, water that isn't dried properly leads to mold. If that has already happened, see our mold remediation and removal service.
Insurance
Sudden water losses such as a burst pipe or a failed water heater are often covered by homeowners insurance. We work with all major carriers, document the loss with photos, moisture logs and a written scope, and bill the insurer directly where coverage applies. Call your carrier to open a claim, and call us to get the drying started. You don't need to wait for the adjuster before mitigation begins.

Common questions
How long does drying take?
Most homes take three to five days of drying once the water is extracted. Hardwood floors, plaster and dense materials can take longer. We don't pull equipment until the moisture readings say the structure is dry.
Can I stay in my house during the work?
Usually, yes. The equipment is loud and warm, and some rooms may be closed off, but most families stay home. If the water was contaminated or a large part of the house is affected, we'll tell you if it's better to stay elsewhere.
Sewage or drain backup?
See our sewage backup cleanup page.
Usually, yes. The equipment is loud and warm, and some rooms may be closed off, but most families stay home. If the water was contaminated or a large part of the house is affected, we'll tell you if it's better to stay elsewhere.
Does it matter what kind of water it is?
Yes. Clean water from a supply line is handled differently from water that came from a dishwasher or washing machine, and differently again from sewage or outdoor floodwater, which is treated as contaminated and requires removing more material.
Can't I just dry it with fans?
Household fans dry the surface. They don't pull moisture out of wall cavities, insulation or subfloor, which is where mold starts. If water got under flooring or into a wall, it needs professional drying equipment and moisture readings to confirm it is dry.
