Homes and water damage in Prescott

Prescott sits around 5,400 feet in the Bradshaw Mountains and was Arizona's first territorial capital. Its historic neighborhoods near Whiskey Row and the Mount Vernon district have Victorian and early-1900s wood-frame homes; 1970s–2000s subdivisions and golf communities like Prescott Lakes and Hassayampa surround the city; and many homes sit on wooded or rocky hillside lots. Four seasons, a large retiree population and many second homes shape the water damage here. Prescott's ZIPs 86301, 86303, 86305 and 86313 are in our coverage list.

Older homes may have crawlspaces, basements and aging galvanized or copper plumbing. Hillside homes deal with runoff and drainage. Winter freezes are regular, and homes left empty in winter are most at risk.

Prescott's granite hills and the Prescott National Forest surround the city, and homes in areas like the Thumb Butte and Hassayampa neighborhoods sit on sloped, wooded or rocky lots. Many homes are owned by retirees and second-home owners from the Valley, which means some are empty for weeks in winter — the season when freeze damage is most likely.
