Plumber in The Lakes, Tempe, AZ
The Lakes is a South Tempe community built around a man-made lake in the 1970s, with single-family homes, townhomes, and condos.
About The Lakes
The Lakes is a master-planned community in South Tempe, built around a winding man-made lake. U.S. 60 runs along its northern edge, and Lakeshore Drive is its best-known street. The Tempe History Museum holds photographs of the community from about 1977, and a local real estate guide describes it as said to be the first man-made lake community in Arizona.
Housing is varied. Single-family homes, townhouses, and condos share the community, in styles that range from ranch to Spanish Revival, and some lakefront homes have private docks. Listing data puts the typical year built in the early 1970s. Shopping and dining sit nearby along Baseline Road, Guadalupe Road, and McClintock Drive.
Because The Lakes mixes freestanding homes with attached townhomes and condos, plumbing jobs here often start with a simple question: what belongs to you and what belongs to the association? We help sort that out before recommending a repair.
What Matters In A Lake Community
Water Heaters And Hard Water
Tempe's tap water is hard, which leaves scale inside water heaters and on fixtures. Flushing, replacement, and softener options are all worth discussing when a unit gets noisy or slow to heat.
Townhomes And Condos
Find out which shutoff valves serve your unit and what the association covers before a repair. We help locate the valves and document the problem so the right party can approve the work.
Pools And Irrigation
Many single-family Tempe homes have backyard pools and irrigated landscaping. A rising water bill can come from either, so leak detection checks the whole system rather than guessing.
Decades-Old Homes, Newer Updates
Homes from the 1970s are now decades old, and many owners have updated kitchens and baths. We check how those updates tie into the original lines.
