Tanque Verde is the horse-property country on the far northeast side, where Tanque Verde Road runs out past Sabino Canyon Road and the houses sit on acre and multi-acre lots between the Catalinas and the Rincons. About 16,000 people live in the unincorporated community, in custom homes from the 1970s through the 2000s, many of them burnt adobe or slump block with flat roofs, plus newer stucco on the larger parcels. Tanque Verde Creek and Agua Caliente Wash run through the middle of it, and every canyon on the south face of the Catalinas drains into them.
This is where the mountain storms land hardest. On July 31, 2006, a week of monsoon rain sent debris flows down Sabino Canyon and put Tanque Verde Creek over its banks, and lots that had been dry for a generation went under. Long driveways cross the washes at grade, and a house on the wrong side of one is cut off when it runs.
This site routes Tanque Verde homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the house before writing anything.
A garage or guest house on a creek lot that took on brown water is monsoon flood cleanup, and the silt and wet drywall go first. A flat roof on a 1978 adobe that ponded behind a parapet and came through above the great room is roof leak water damage. A well line or a hose bib riser that split in a hard freeze is burst pipe water damage.
Tanque Verde Unified School District covers the community, and its closures after a storm are the local signal that Tanque Verde Road is flooded at the creek. Agua Caliente Park, the 101-acre county park around a perennial warm spring at the east end of Roger Road, sits on the wash that gives it its name.
Call (520) 422-6139 and tell us whether the creek or the roof did it. We route the call to a local water damage provider serving Tanque Verde.
