Emergency Commercial Water Damage Restoration for Fitness Center in Tempe, AZ

Services Provided: Water Damage
Application: Commercial

Xtreme Drying was contacted by the management team at Mountainside Fitness, a well-known commercial gym in Tempe, AZ, regarding an active water damage emergency at one of their key locations. The call came in early in the morning, and our team mobilized and arrived on-site within an hour to begin the assessment and mitigation process.

Upon inspection, our technicians discovered that a shower valve in the men’s upstairs locker room had burst overnight. This resulted in significant flooding throughout the upper locker rooms, with water leaking through the structure and affecting the ceiling directly above the front check-in counter. Since this area sees heavy foot traffic and serves as the main entrance to the gym, management specifically requested that the ceiling not be cut into unless absolutely necessary.

This presented a unique challenge, as typical drying procedures often require access to affected structural cavities to prevent secondary damage. However, our team developed a strategic, non-invasive drying plan tailored to the circumstances. We deployed specialized drying equipment, including commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers, and carefully positioned them to maximize airflow and moisture removal without the need for demolition.

Over the course of seven days, our technicians monitored the progress daily using moisture meters and thermal imaging to track improvements and ensure thorough drying. By Day 4, we began to see clear signs of progress, with moisture levels decreasing consistently. The ceiling began to dry as expected, and we were able to continue the restoration process without opening up any structural areas—meeting the client’s request and avoiding any unnecessary disruption to business operations.

The staff at Mountainside Fitness were helpful and cooperative throughout the project, making the process smooth for everyone involved. Their support, combined with our team’s expertise and prompt response, ensured that the damage was mitigated effectively and efficiently.
