Homes and water damage in Sun City

Sun City was one of the first large active-adult communities in the country, opened by Del Webb in 1960 and built out through the 1970s. It's unincorporated, with roughly circular neighborhoods of single-story homes, patio homes and duplexes, many now 50 to 60 years old. A large share of residents are seasonal, and many homes sit empty for part of the year. Sun City's two ZIPs (85351 and 85373) are in our coverage list.

Original copper plumbing, older water heaters and cast-iron drains are common, and slab leaks are frequent in homes this age. Duplexes and patio homes share walls. Some roofs are flat or low-slope.

Sun City's streets are laid out in circles around recreation centers, with many homes backing onto golf courses. Homes of this age may have original cast-iron drain lines under the slab that crack and back up, and many have been partially updated, so newer fixtures often connect to 50-year-old pipe.
