San Tan ValleyMaricopa County or Pinal County: why it matters
Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Ahwatukee and Sun Lakes are in Maricopa County. San Tan Valley is in Pinal County, and parts of Queen Creek are reported to fall on the Pinal side. The county mostly matters for one thing during water damage: asbestos rules before wet drywall, ceilings or flooring are torn out.
- Maricopa County applies Air Quality Rule 370. Regulated renovations need an AHERA-certified asbestos inspection and an online notice 10 working days before work. A single owner-occupied home is generally exempt; rentals may not be.
- Pinal County asbestos questions go to the Pinal County Air Quality Control District in Florence, (520) 866-6960.
Whichever county you are in, contractor licensing is statewide. Look up any company at the Arizona Registrar of Contractors before you sign, and look for "ROC" followed by a license number on its bid. More on how the referral works is on the about page, and typical prices are in the Chandler water damage cost guide.
