Gilbert is largely nineties onward construction, big houses on slab with a high proportion of two storey builds and upstairs laundry rooms. An upstairs laundry with a braided hose failure is one of the more destructive losses in a residential property, because the water has a whole storey to travel through.
Those losses are appliance leak cleanup at the top of the house and a ceiling job below it. They need the ceiling opened, the joist cavity dried and the downstairs walls checked with a meter, not just the laundry floor mopped, and anything that sat overnight gets a mold inspection.
Summer brings the other half: roof leaks that stain a ceiling three days after the storm, and monsoon water under the garage door. Why the stain shows up late explains the delay people find confusing.
