Corona de Tucson was platted in the early 1960s as a planned community at the north foot of the Santa Rita Mountains, southeast of Tucson and south of Vail, and for forty years it stayed a scatter of block ranches on large lots along Houghton and Sahuarita Roads. Since 2000 the Santa Rita Ranch and Sycamore Vista phases have filled it in with stucco-over-frame subdivisions, and the unincorporated community now holds about 9,000 people. The ground slopes north off the Santa Ritas toward Cienega Creek, cut by washes that run brown in every monsoon cell that stalls over the range.
The older houses have the original copper under a 1960s slab and a flat roof that has been recoated a half dozen times. The newer ones have attic plumbing and a water heater in the garage that is coming due for replacement. Both share the same afternoon storms.
This site routes Corona de Tucson homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters first and writes second.
A 1960s block house with a warm patch of tile is a leak detection job before anyone cuts the slab. A Santa Rita Ranch two-story with a ceiling stain below the attic line is ceiling water damage repair. A garage on the low side of a wash lot that took on runoff in August is monsoon flood cleanup, and the silt and wet drywall come out first.
Santa Rita Fire District covers Corona de Tucson and the surrounding Santa Rita foothills, and its crews are the first call when a burst line has reached the electrical panel or a wash has come through the house. Rebuild permits here go through Pima County, since the community is unincorporated.

Standing water pulled off saltillo, tile, and carpet on a Tucson slab before it wicks into block walls and the bottom of the drywall.
