Your Sun City West Water Damage Restoration Specialists

Sun City West broke ground in 1978 as Del Webb’s second act, and the difference from the original Sun City shows in every direction. Floor plans are larger, lots are wider, garages hold a golf cart bay alongside the cars, and pools are far more common. Construction is generally stucco over frame and block with concrete tile roofs rather than the low pitched, lighter roofing of the 1960s phases.

That construction creates a specific set of vulnerabilities. Concrete tile itself lasts decades, but the underlayment carrying the actual waterproofing typically reaches the end of its life somewhere between twenty and thirty years. A lot of homes here are on original or first replacement underlayment, and monsoon wind is very good at finding the weak spot.

Air handlers mounted in attic spaces are the other signature issue. A blocked condensate drain has one direction to go, and that is down through the ceiling drywall into a bedroom or hallway. Homeowners near Palm Ridge and Beardsley call us about ceiling stains that turn out to be weeks of slow condensate rather than a roof problem at all.

Underground, the copper and plastic supply lines installed through the late 1970s and 1980s are now decades into service. Around the R.H. Johnson and Kuentz areas and out along Camino Del Sol, slab leaks are a routine call. Golf course frontage adds irrigation running close to foundations, keeping soil damp against slabs in a climate where dry soil is the norm. Seasonal occupancy stretches every one of these problems, because a slow failure in an unoccupied house is measured in weeks.
