Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Tempe, AZ
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
How does a pool leak get inside the house?
By feeding the ground next to it. The plumbing runs under a deck that usually abuts the building, so a failed line discharges into the soil against the foundation and keeps doing it, because the pool refills itself and nothing announces the loss. The slab edge takes it from there.
Why did nobody notice the pool losing water?
Because most of them top up automatically. A filler keeps the level constant, so a line losing water steadily produces no visible change at all, and in this climate a certain amount of loss to evaporation is expected anyway. It is usually found from the building rather than from the pool.
What confirms the source?
Isolating the pool plumbing and watching whether the loss continues. The system is shut down and the level and the ground are monitored, which separates a plumbing failure from evaporation or from anything in the house. In a climate this dry there are very few other explanations for wet ground.
