Emergency Restoration & Rebuild FAQ
What should I do first if my home or business has water damage, a leak, or flooding?
Turn off the water source if possible, shut off power if safe, and call RCS Builders immediately. We’re your local Tempe-based 24/7 restoration and rebuild team, responding fast to appliance leaks (washer, dishwasher, fridge, or ice maker), plumbing failures (sink, tub, toilet, or shower), and flood or storm damage across Phoenix, Chandler, Mesa, and the surrounding Valley. Acting quickly limits mold and structural damage.
How fast can RCS Builders respond to an emergency?
We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can typically arrive within hours anywhere in the Greater Phoenix and East Valley, including Gilbert, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Peoria, and Tempe. Whether it’s a pipe burst, toilet overflow, roof leak, storm loss, or vehicle impact, we move fast to secure and stabilize your property.
Does RCS Builders handle both mitigation and full rebuild / put-back work?
Yes — and that’s what sets us apart. RCS Builders is a licensed General Contractor and family-owned full-service restoration company, handling mitigation, cleanup, and full reconstruction / put-back / recon work under one roof. From water extraction and drying to drywall, flooring, and finishes, we restore your property completely.
Can RCS Builders do the rebuild or put-back after another company handled the drying or demo?
Absolutely. Many clients call us after a mitigation company finished the cleanup but can’t handle the rebuild. RCS Builders specializes in post-mitigation reconstruction — also called rebuild, recon, or put-back work — for homes and commercial spaces. We take over seamlessly and complete framing, drywall, paint, flooring, and finishes with licensed quality.
Do you work directly with insurance companies and adjusters?
Yes. RCS Builders works with all major insurance carriers to streamline your claim. We provide moisture readings, photos, and detailed job documentation, and coordinate directly with your adjuster to make the process easy. Whether it’s a pipe break, appliance leak, or fire loss, we ensure your restoration is covered fairly.
What types of damage repair and restoration does RCS Builders specialize in?
We specialize in water damage repair (from leaks, floods, or appliance failures), fire and smoke restoration, storm and wind cleanup, vehicle impact (car crash) repairs, and full reconstruction. Our team also performs mold remediation, odor removal, emergency roof tarping, and board-up services for both residential and commercial properties.
How do you track and verify the drying process after water damage or leaks?
We use advanced thermal imaging, moisture meters, and remote monitoring systems to confirm every surface is dry — including behind walls, under flooring, and inside cabinets. This ensures accurate documentation for insurance claims and prevents hidden mold or future structural issues.
Can RCS Builders help prevent or remove mold after a leak or flood?
Yes. Our certified restoration experts respond fast to appliance leaks, pipe bursts, or overflows to prevent mold before it starts. We use antimicrobial treatments, HEPA filtration, and moisture control systems to eliminate growth and rebuild affected areas safely.
Are your technicians certified, licensed, and insured?
Yes. RCS Builders technicians are IICRC-certified, background-checked, and trained in the latest mitigation and reconstruction (“recon”) methods. As a licensed Arizona General Contractor, we’re fully equipped to handle both the emergency work and the rebuild legally and professionally.
