Homes and water damage in Scottsdale

Scottsdale runs about 30 miles from south to north, and its housing changes along the way. South Scottsdale near Old Town has 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, many with flat or low-slope roofs and original plumbing. McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch in the middle are 1970s–1990s planned communities, and north Scottsdale — DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Troon and Pinnacle Peak — is mostly 1990s–2000s luxury homes, many with flat roofs, parapets and complex drainage. North Scottsdale also sits against the McDowell Mountains, where runoff reaches homes during heavy storms.

Large homes mean more fixtures and longer runs of pipe, including recirculating hot-water lines. Flat roofs with parapets depend on clean scuppers and good coatings. Many homes are second homes or seasonal, and high-value finishes such as hardwood, stone and custom cabinetry make fast drying especially important.
