Rita Ranch is the master-planned community on the far southeast side, between Houghton Road and Rita Road south of Interstate 10, built from the late 1980s through the 2010s on old ranch ground at the edge of the Davis-Monthan flight line. About 25,000 people live in its neighborhoods, a lot of them Air Force families and Raytheon engineers, in stucco-over-frame houses on slabs with tile roofs, attic plumbing, and a water heater in the garage. Atterbury Wash and the Julian Wash tributaries cross the community on their way northwest toward the Santa Cruz, and the flat ground between them drains slowly after a storm.
The oldest Rita Ranch streets are past thirty-five years now, which means the second water heater is failing and the first attic supply lines have started to pinhole at the fittings. The 2000s phases are hitting their first round of both.
This site routes Rita Ranch homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the house before writing anything.
A garage water heater that let go and ran under the wall into the family room is water heater leak cleanup, and the shared wall is read from both sides. A ceiling stain below an attic line in a 1994 two-story is ceiling water damage repair. A garage on a wash-side lot that took on brown water in a July storm is monsoon flood cleanup.
The Pima Air and Space Museum, with about 400 aircraft on 80 acres along Valencia Road, sits between Rita Ranch and the base, and its outdoor collection sits in the same storms that pond the roofs a mile south. Rita Ranch is inside the Tucson city limits, so rebuild permits run through the city.
Call (520) 422-6139 and tell us which rooms are wet. We route the call to a local water damage provider serving Rita Ranch.
Standing water pulled off saltillo, tile, and carpet on a Tucson slab before it wicks into block walls and the bottom of the drywall.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until block, stucco, drywall, and cabinets read dry, even after a monsoon week pushes the humidity up.
A spinning meter, a warm patch of tile, or a damp baseboard traced to a pinholed copper line under the slab before concrete is cut.
Rooms soaked when an exposed hose bib line, a cooler supply, or an attic pipe split in a hard desert freeze, pumped out and dried.
Silt and wash water pulled out of a garage or ground floor after a monsoon storm, contaminated materials removed, and the house dried.
A tank that let go in a garage, laundry closet, or outdoor alcove and the flooring and drywall it soaked before anyone noticed.
A stained or sagging ceiling under a rooftop cooler, a package AC unit, or a pooled parapet section, dried and opened only where wet.
Wet insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a flat roof ponded, a scupper clogged, or a July storm drove water under the coating.
