Water Damage Restoration in Drexel Heights, AZ
Drexel Heights is the unincorporated stretch of southwest Tucson between the city line and the east slope of the Tucson Mountains, roughly from Ajo Way south to Valencia and west to Camino de Oeste, with about 29,000 people. It grew up in the 1960s and 1970s as the working family's answer to the city: block ranches on quarter-acre and half-acre lots, a good number of manufactured homes, flat roofs with coolers, and carports instead of garages. Drexel Road and Valencia cut across it, and the washes off the Tucson Mountains, running east toward the Santa Cruz, cross the streets at grade because there was never a storm drain system to speak of.
The copper in these slabs is fifty and sixty years old and the water is hard. The coolers on the roofs are the original style with a float valve and a pan, and the flat roofs under them have been recoated more times than anyone remembers.
This site routes Drexel Heights homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider reads the house with a meter before opening anything.
Drexel Heights water damage in 1960s block under a cooler
A warm patch of tile or a water bill that doubled in a 1968 ranch is a leak detection call before anyone breaks the slab. A ceiling bowing under the cooler pan after a stuck float ran all afternoon is ceiling water damage repair. A carport-side room that took on wash runoff crossing Drexel Road in a monsoon storm is monsoon flood cleanup.
The Western movie lot in the mountains above Drexel Heights
Old Tucson, the 1939 film set turned attraction in Tucson Mountain Park just over the ridge on Kinney Road, sits at the top of the same drainage that runs down through Drexel Heights toward the river, and its storm closures come a few minutes before the water reaches the neighborhood streets. Rebuild permits here go through Pima County rather than the city.
