Arizona Winters: Don’t Skip Your Plumbing Maintenance

In Arizona, we don’t typically worry about frozen pipes in the winter. So why should you schedule a plumbing check in the winter? The desert comes with its own list of plumbing challenges that don’t include freezing temperatures.

Hard Water Buildup

The hard water in Arizona is filled with minerals that contribute to a considerable amount of sediment buildup. Over time, this can cause clogged pipes, damage to appliances, and it can even lessen the lifespan of your water heater.

Ignoring signs such as weak water flow, and less hot water can result in expensive repairs that could have been prevented with a simple plumbing tune-up.

Pro Tip: We recommend installing a water filtration system or a water softener to help mitigate the effects of hard water buildup.

Irrigation & Outdoor Plumbing

Our outdoor plumbing systems are working year-round in the valley. Drip systems are a common way to hydrate our trees and plants. Leaks, cracks and backflow issues can end up wasting you thousands of gallons of water and money if you don’t catch them early.

We recommend checking your irrigation and drip systems monthly to make sure everything is operating properly.

Hidden Leaks

Small leaks can lead to big “Oh No” moments like increased water bills, water damage, or even mold growth. AC units in Arizona run almost year-round and condensation can actually disguise those plumbing leaks. A professional inspection is always recommended to avoid major plumbing problems in the future.

Prep Your System For The Holiday Season

Fall is the perfect time to check your plumbing before the holiday season settles in. Keep plumbing problems out of your holiday plans with a routine inspection.
