Water damage help in White Mountains & Navajo County
The White Mountains along the Mogollon Rim — Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor, Heber-Overgaard, Springerville and Eagar — are Arizona's high-country getaway, at 5,500 to over 8,000 feet in Greer and Alpine. North of the Rim, the Interstate 40 towns of Holbrook, Winslow and Joseph City sit in high desert. This region also includes the White Mountain Apache communities of Whiteriver, Fort Apache, McNary and Cibecue.
Phones answered 24/7. Response times depend on location.
Many homes here are cabins or second homes owned by people from the Valley, so freeze damage in empty houses is the signature problem.
Climate and water damage
Cold winters with snow and hard freezes, especially at higher elevations; cool summers with a strong monsoon. The I-40 towns are drier and windy but still freeze regularly.
Housing
Cabins and manufactured homes are common, along with newer site-built homes in Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside. Crawlspaces, exterior-wall plumbing, wells and septic are more common than in the desert.
What causes water damage here
Frozen pipes in second homes
Cabins left unheated or with heat set too low freeze during cold snaps; when pipes thaw, water can run for days before the owner visits.
Snow and ice on roofs
Heavy snow and ice dams push water under shingles and into attics and walls.
Monsoon storms
Summer storms bring hail, wind and heavy rain that test roofs and drainage.
