Often the cause around Downtown Tucson
AC and swamp cooler leaks. Tucson air conditioners run for months, and every hour they produce condensate. When a drain line clogs or a pan rusts through, that water goes into the ceiling, a closet or the attic. Evaporative coolers add another source: a stuck float or cracked line on the roof.
Water heater leaks. Hard water fills tank water heaters with sediment, and tanks in garages and closets often reach the end of their life with little warning. A 40 or 50 gallon tank that lets go empties onto the floor and keeps refilling until someone closes the valve.
Sewage backup cleanup. A sewer line backup brings category 3 water into the house, usually through the lowest drain: a shower, floor drain or toilet. It needs to be cleaned up by a crew with protective gear and antimicrobial treatment, not a mop.
