Paradise Valley Village & Moon Valley Water Damage Help

Paradise Valley Village is one of Phoenix's urban villages, covering much of north-central and northeast Phoenix around Cave Creek Road, Bell Road and Tatum Boulevard. Moon Valley, to the west around Thunderbird Road and 7th Street, is known for its golf course and larger lots. Many homes here were built in the 1970s and 1980s, mostly single-story, on slabs.

Homes from this era may have copper, polybutylene or a mix of both after repairs. Roofs may have been replaced once or not at all. Mature trees shade the streets and send roots toward sewer lines. Each of these shows up in the water calls from this area.

Paradise Valley Village is part of the City of Phoenix. The Town of Paradise Valley to the southeast is a separate town with its own rules. Water service, permits and contacts differ, so it helps to know which you are in.

Large trees in older yards are part of what makes these neighborhoods appealing, but their roots seek water in sewer joints. Slow drains in several fixtures and gurgling toilets are early signs. A camera inspection shows the problem before a backup does.

Most homes here are single-story on slabs, so water from a leak spreads under tile and carpet and into baseboards rather than through ceilings. Drying the slab and the bottom of walls is the main job.

In these older neighborhoods the City of Phoenix meter usually sits in a concrete box near the street, sometimes hidden by decades of landscaping. Find it before you need it. The City handles the meter and its line; the owner handles everything toward the house, including older supply lines that may be original.

Many older homes here have water heaters in garages or utility closets and water softeners added over the years. Softener fittings and brine tanks can leak too. Check both when you check for leaks.

Some homes here have shingle or flat roofs rather than tile. Older shingle roofs lose granules and curl; flat roofs pond water if scuppers clog. A roofer's check before monsoon season prevents most storm leaks.

In Paradise Valley Village and Moon Valley, watch older pipes, slab leaks, sewer roots and aging roofs, and start drying the same day when water gets in.

Most homes in Moon Valley and Paradise Valley Village are single-story on concrete slabs. Water from a leak spreads under tile, carpet and laminate and wicks into baseboards and cabinets instead of draining away. A slab leak can spread under a large area before anyone notices. A yearly meter test and quick action at the first damp baseboard keep damage small.

Some homes here still have older AC systems with rusted pans and no float switch. If your system is more than 15 years old, ask the technician to check the pan and drain line closely, and consider replacing the pan before it fails.

Mature trees here send roots into older sewer lines. Slow drains in several fixtures, gurgling toilets and water rising in the tub are early signs. A camera inspection shows where roots enter before a backup does.

Older homes here reward steady upkeep.
