Homes and water damage in Peoria

Peoria stretches from its small historic core near Grand Avenue north for miles to Lake Pleasant, making it one of the Valley's longest cities. Most of it is 1980s and newer: south Peoria's subdivisions from the 1980s and 1990s, and north Peoria's Fletcher Heights, Westwing and Vistancia from the 2000s onward. North Peoria sits higher, closer to the mountains and washes that feed Lake Pleasant, and some areas see flash flooding during storms.

Typical homes are slab foundations with stucco and tile roofs; many north Peoria homes are two-story with upstairs laundry. Older south Peoria homes may have copper plumbing now 30 to 40 years old.

North Peoria climbs toward Lake Pleasant and the foothills of the Hieroglyphic Mountains, where lots are larger, homes sit farther apart and New River and Agua Fria tributary washes cross the landscape. Homes in that area are farther from the Valley core, so it helps to know your shutoff locations and have a plan before a storm or a burst line.
