# Water Damage Severity Quiz | How Bad Is My Water Damage? | Water Damage Tempe > A free water damage severity assessment for Tempe, AZ. URL: https://waterdamagetempe.com/tools/water-damage-severity-quiz/ This is an interactive tool (JavaScript required) best used in a browser — 9 plain-language questions about the water source/category, how long water has been standing, whether it's reached flooring or walls, visible mold, nearby electrical hazards, affected area, and whether a vulnerable person is in the home. The result is an urgency classification (urgent call-now, schedule an assessment soon, or lower-urgency-but-still-worth-a-look) with what to do next. Any active leak, standing water past 24-48 hours, visible mold, or suspected sewage backup is flagged urgent regardless of the rest of the score — mold can begin colonizing water-damaged material within 24-48 hours in this climate. Call for a live, honest assessment rather than wait for a quiz result if that's your situation right now.
