Laveen’s newer neighborhoods were mostly built from the early 2000s on, so we see the same aging-parts calls as other young West Valley suburbs: water heaters, braided supply lines, PEX fittings and attic AC drain pans. Many of these homes are two stories, which means upstairs leaks show up as ceiling stains downstairs.

What sets Laveen apart is water from outside. Older properties on irrigation receive flood water on a schedule, and if a berm fails or a neighbor’s water is not contained, it can reach slabs, garages and stucco. Homes on the east side, closer to South Mountain, can also see runoff during heavy monsoon storms. We know how to handle irrigation and storm water, which may carry silt and contaminants, and dry the structure without missing hidden moisture.
