Water damage help for Teravalis homes
Teravalis is Buckeye's newest large master planned community, planned to grow into one of the biggest in the country over the coming decades. The first neighborhoods are filling with brand new homes, and more are being built all the time.
New homes are exciting, but they also come with a first few years where plumbing, appliances, roofs and drainage all get tested for the first time. If you find water in your Teravalis home, call (623) 555-0148
Common water damage risks in Teravalis
New plumbing connections
Every new home has hundreds of fittings. Some can loosen as the system goes through its first rounds of pressure changes. Supply lines under sinks, toilet connections and water heater fittings are common spots.
Construction related leaks
A drywall screw or trim nail that grazed a pipe can cause a slow leak inside a wall. Shower pans and tub drains that were not sealed properly can leak into the subfloor. These problems often show up months after move in.
Appliance hookups
Washers, dishwashers and ice makers are often connected during move in. Loose connections are one of the most common early leaks.
First monsoon season
The first monsoon season is often the first real test for a new home's roof, windows, door seals and yard grading. Missed flashing or grading that slopes toward the house can let water in.
Unfinished surroundings
In a growing community, lots around you may still be under construction. Changing grades and open dirt can change how storm water flows during heavy rain.
Your builder warranty
Most new homes come with a builder warranty that covers certain defects for a set period. If you find a leak:
- Stop the water at the fixture or main.
- Take photos and video before anything is moved.
- Write down the date and time.
- Notify your builder in writing, following your warranty paperwork.
- Start drying. Most warranties and insurance policies expect you to limit further damage.
We provide photos, moisture readings and a written scope you can share with your builder, warranty company or insurance company. Learn more on our new construction water damage page.

My Teravalis home is brand new. Why is it leaking?
New homes can have loose fittings, nicked pipes, unsealed shower pans or appliance hookup issues that show up in the first months or years.
Should I call my builder or you first?
