Homes and water damage in Chandler

Chandler grew from a farm town into one of the Valley's big tech-industry cities, and most of its homes were built between the 1980s and 2000s. Downtown and west Chandler have the older homes; Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch and south Chandler are 1990s–2000s master-planned neighborhoods, many built around lakes and golf courses. The Sun Lakes retirement community sits just south of city limits and shares Chandler's 85248 ZIP. Much of Chandler is flat former farmland, with irrigation canals and retention basins handling storm water.

Typical Chandler homes are stucco with tile roofs, slab foundations and garage water heaters. Many 1990s homes have polybutylene or early PEX plumbing; homes from the late 1980s through mid-1990s sometimes still have polybutylene, which is known for failing at the fittings. Two-story homes put bathrooms and laundry rooms above living spaces, so leaks there come through ceilings.
