The Lakes is built right on the Kiwanis Lake water system, and living on the water is the whole appeal here — it is also the part of the risk picture we plan around. When a leak or a storm hits a lakefront lot, we get there quick, about eight minutes from the yard, and we answer the phone at any hour.
Standing water comes out first with truck-mounted extraction, then we dry the structure until the meters agree it is done. On waterfront lots we look harder at the low points — the slab edge, the bottom plates, the patio thresholds where moisture likes to sneak in.
Water Damage Risks in The Lakes
Homes along The Lakes sit beside seawalls, lakefront patios, and irrigation laterals that keep the ground near the slab damp for much of the year. That steady moisture load means a small plumbing leak or a bit of storm intrusion has less margin before it turns into real damage inside the wall. Patio doors and the wall bases facing the water are the first places we check.
Add the lakeside humidity to Tempe’s heat and you get conditions where mold can start within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. Drying a waterfront home takes dehumidifiers sized for that extra moisture in the air, not a couple of fans pushed into a corner. We bring LGR dehumidifiers and monitor the drop in grains until the home is back to a normal dry reading.
Local Knowledge, Fast Response
We know the streets that ring the water off Baseline Road and the paths down to The Lakes Beach Club, and we plan hose and equipment access for lots where the back of the house faces the lake. Reaching the community from Auto Drive is a straight, short run, which is what you want at three in the morning.
On a call near the shoreline, a homeowner found a damp, musty closet on the wall backing the patio. It read like lake seepage at first, but our moisture mapping traced it to a slow supply-line weep inside the wall — the lakeside humidity had simply let mold start on the drywall paper faster than usual. We contained it, removed the affected board, dried the cavity, and cleared it before it reached the framing.

The Lakes Water Damage FAQs
Does living on the lake raise my water damage risk?
It can. Lakefront lots hold more moisture along the slab edge from the water table and irrigation, so leaks and storm intrusion have less room before they cause damage. We check the lower walls and slab edges closely and dry to a verified reading. Call any hour — we answer 24/7 and aim to arrive within 60 minutes.
Is my problem a plumbing leak or seepage from the lake?
We find out before we start drying. Moisture mapping and the pattern of the damage tell us the true source, and many so-called seepage calls turn out to be a slow supply or slab leak. Knowing which one it is changes both the repair and how the insurance claim is written.
How quickly does mold become a problem out here?
Fast. Between the heat and the extra lakeside humidity, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours. That is why we start drying the same visit and bring dehumidifiers sized for the moisture in the air, so the home dries fully instead of just on the surface.
After heavy rain, the ground along our lakefront patio in The Lakes stays soggy — should I worry about the house?
Waterfront lots on the Kiwanis Lake system already carry a high moisture load from the lake, seawalls, and irrigation laterals, so saturated ground against the slab edge leaves little margin before it wicks inside. If the wall bases or patio thresholds feel damp or smell musty, have us check them with moisture meters. We are about eight minutes up from our Auto Drive yard and answer any hour.
