Often the cause around Midtown
Slab leak water damage. Most Tucson houses sit on a concrete slab with copper or PEX water lines running under or through it. Hard water and shifting desert soil wear those lines down, and when one fails the water spreads under tile and carpet before you see it.
Burst pipe cleanup. Tucson doesn't freeze often, but when it does, pipes in attics, exterior walls and outdoor hose bibs are not built for it. More often a pipe fails from age, a bad fitting or a supply line that gives out under a sink or toilet.
Monsoon flood cleanup. Monsoon season runs from mid-June through September. A single storm can drop an inch of rain in under an hour onto ground that can't absorb it. Water comes in under doors, through flat roofs and around swamp cooler stands, and washes run through neighbourhoods that were bone dry an hour earlier.
