The Lakes neighborhood features 1970s and 1980s tract homes built around man-made lakes in South Tempe. Monsoon rains often overwhelm drainage around these lakes, sending water into yards and crawl spaces on streets like Lakeside Drive and Lakeview Drive. Our team at 1222 E Baseline Rd responds directly to these calls with extraction and drying focused on the stucco and slab construction common here.
Access from Baseline Road lets us reach properties quickly whether the issue starts from lake seepage, roof leaks during summer storms, or plumbing failures in older homes. We work with the neighborhood's mix of single-story ranches and two-story models, paying attention to how water migrates under the lake-adjacent lots that sit lower than surrounding streets.

Flood Damage Cleanup in The Lakes — Local Notes
- •Lakefront lots in The Lakes sit at lower elevations than nearby streets, so monsoon runoff from Kiwanis Park and surrounding higher ground frequently backs up against foundations.
- •Many homes here were built with slab-on-grade construction and limited French drains, making hidden moisture under tile and carpet a recurring issue after heavy rains.
- •Quick access via Baseline Road from our 85283 location means faster equipment delivery to The Lakes compared with routes through central Tempe traffic.
