First steps in the next hour

If the leak is at a faucet, toilet, washer, or water heater, close that fixture’s valve when you can reach it and stay dry. If it is not at a fixture, close the main shutoff. For a leak that may be the town’s, use the Public Works contact page. Keep out of water that may be touching outlets or appliances. Ready.gov says to turn off electricity only if it is safe to do so. Shut off power at the breaker only if the panel is dry and safe to reach. Take pictures from dry flooring, move valuables, and open windows only once the power is safe. Do not use a fan while you stand in the water.

Why water damage happens in Gilbert

Storm water and a frozen outdoor line are different problems. Deal with the one in front of you.

Flooding

The National Weather Service Phoenix office says monsoon season officially extends from June 15 through September 30. Storms in that season can bring damaging winds, torrential rainfall, lightning, and dust.

Outdoor lines in a freeze

Close a supply valve only if you can reach it and stay dry. On December 4, 2013, the Town of Gilbert said that when freezing temperatures occur, the threat of a water break significantly increases, and that exterior water lines can freeze and potentially rupture. Wrap those exterior lines, and call a plumber if one breaks at home.

Appliance leaks

A supply hose on a washer, dishwasher, or refrigerator can fail overnight. Close the valve at the wall if your feet stay dry.

Check the flood zone before a storm

Gilbert slopes from east to west, so heavy rain can stack up on the east side of railroad and canal embankments. Washes and low-lying areas can fill quickly. Before a storm, look up the home on that flood zone map so you know whether the lot sits where water can pond.

Freestone and Crossroads Parks, in partnership with the Flood Control District of Maricopa County, collect and hold floodwater. The Eastern Maricopa Floodway carries flows from the north before they reach Gilbert, and it also carries flows from the Sonoqui and Queen Creek Washes. If water is already against the house, stay out of it when power may be on, and use the Public Works contact page if the water may be coming from a town line.

If wash or street water reaches the house

In July 2026, ABC15 reported that the town is studying nearly two miles of Sonoqui Wash. Sediment buildup, and parts of the channel that are shallow, undefined, or blocked, can contribute to flooding and erosion during heavy storms.

If wash water or street water reaches the house, do not treat it as water from a supply pipe. Stay out of it. Keep children and pets away. Shut off electricity only if it is safe to do so. On October 12, 2025, overnight rain left a family standing in about two inches in a basement, with a 12-inch mark on the door. They planned to tear out baseboards and drywall. Use the Public Works contact page if the water may be from a town line.

Questions Gilbert homeowners ask

Which valve comes first?

The valve on the faucet, toilet, washer, or heater comes first, if you can reach it and stay dry. Use the main shutoff when the leak is not at a fixture.

What should I do before a freeze in Gilbert?

Wrap exterior water lines. Those lines can freeze and rupture. Call a plumber if one breaks at home.

Who do I contact for a town water leak?

Use the Public Works contact page.

What if sewage comes up a drain?

Keep children and pets away, and do not touch it. Call the number on this page for cleanup.

Is my Gilbert home in a flood zone?

Look up the property on the town flood zone map. The town slopes from east to west, and heavy rain can stack up on the east side of railroad and canal embankments. Washes and low areas can fill quickly.

Questions to ask a provider

Ask how dryness will be measured, what photos and moisture readings they will give you, and which tasks are cleanup rather than a later repair.

Insurance: what to know

Photograph the damage, stop the water if it is safe, read your policy, and contact your insurer. Many homeowner policies treat sudden and accidental water damage differently from gradual leaks or flooding; check your policy or ask your insurer.

Drying after the water is gone

A room that got wet still has to be dried. The EPA says mold may begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure.

What a water damage restoration company does

The company removes standing water, dries the building, and checks moisture in walls and floors. Water extraction is the removal of standing water. Water mitigation is the work of stopping more water and drying what got wet. A surface can look dry while the wall behind it is still wet, so drying continues after the water you can see is gone. Water damage cleanup is the wash-down after the water is gone. Repairs such as drywall or flooring are often a separate job. LeakHelpLine does not do that work.

Types of water damage

Clean water

Water from a supply pipe starts clean. It can still soak floors, walls, and cabinets. Water removal of that standing water waits until you are clear of it and the power is safe.

Gray water

Gray water carries soap, food, or dirt, as with a washer or dishwasher overflow. Limit contact, and keep children and pets out of that room until it is cleaned.

Ceiling leaks

A drip from overhead can be a pipe, a roof, or a fixture above. Stay out from under the ceiling if it sags.

Sewage backup

Black water is sewage, also called Category 3 water. Do not touch it, and keep children and pets away.

Slab leaks

A slab leak is a pipe under the concrete slab. Signs are a warm spot on the floor, water sounds with the taps off, or a floor that stays damp. Close the main shutoff if you can stay dry, keep power away from the wet floor, and call.
