Our The East Valley Coverage Area

Canal, River and Groundwater Supply

East Valley cities blend Salt River Project and Central Arizona Project water with wells, and Queen Creek leans more on groundwater. Check your bill for your provider and its notices. The line from the meter and everything inside belong to the owner.

Slab Leaks and Older Copper

Homes from the 1970s through the 1990s often have copper under the slab and some have polybutylene lines from the 1980s and early 1990s. A written inspection tells you what is in the walls and floor.

Very Hard Water

Scale builds fast in heaters and on fixtures. Flush tank heaters at least yearly and descale tankless units on schedule.

University Rentals and Newer Subdivisions

Rentals near the university go years between updates, and newer subdivisions have early defects that should go to the builder in writing while the warranty is active.

Frequently Asked Questions — The East Valley Plumbing

Who offers emergency plumbing in the East Valley?

LocalPlumber.us connects you with vetted, insured local plumbers around the clock. Shut off the main valve if water is flowing, call, and give your ZIP code when prompted.

Where does Mesa’s water come from?

A blend of Salt and Verde river water, Central Arizona Project water and city wells. Your bill and the annual report confirm the details.

What is a slab leak and how do I spot one?

It is a leak in a pipe under the concrete floor. Signs include a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with every tap off and a meter that keeps moving. Leak detection can find it without tearing up the floor.

Is water in this area hard?

Yes. Arizona water is very hard, whether it comes from the Colorado River or groundwater, so scale builds fast in heaters. Flush tank heaters at least yearly and check your provider’s water quality report.

How do I get plumbing ready for monsoon season?

Know where the main shutoff is, keep gutters and yard drains clear and check outdoor backflow valves. After a storm, check for low pressure and have a plumber look at any wet spot that does not dry.

What should renters do about a leak?

Report it to the landlord in writing, keep a copy and shut off the fixture stop if water is flowing.

Which the East Valley city page should I use?
