Common Cave Creek Emergencies
- Well Pump Failure: Your property runs on a private well and the pump or pressure switch has failed, leaving you without a drop of water. This is an urgent issue that requires a specialist who understands the entire system.
- Monsoon Backflow: July and August flash floods overwhelmed the municipal sewer, and raw sewage is backing up into your ground-floor showers. The damage can be devastating if not stopped immediately.
- Summer Heat Pipe Burst: Thermal expansion caused a weakened PVC or CPVC line to burst under the brutal Arizona sun. The water flows fast and furious, threatening your custom floors and drywall.
- PRV Blowout: The pressure reducing valve failed, letting 140 PSI city water into the home, blowing out washing machine hoses and the water heater relief valve. This high pressure can destroy your entire plumbing system in minutes.
- Pack Rat Flood: Desert woodrats chewed through the PEX lines in your attic seeking moisture, causing a catastrophic ceiling leak that rains down on your living room. We must repair and retrofit quickly.
- Winter Freezes: In December and January, Cave Creek sits at 2,126 feet elevation and actually experiences freezes. Unprotected exterior backflow preventers will burst, spraying water everywhere and requiring immediate isolation and repair.

What to Do Before I Arrive
If water is actively flooding your home, find your main water shutoff valve immediately. For city water homes, it's usually at the street meter or where the line enters the house near the hose bibb. If you are on a well, shut off the electrical breaker to the well pump at the main panel — do not just adjust the pressure switch. Once the water is off, call me. If it's a sewer backup, stop using all water in the house immediately and don't flush any toilets. Keep away from electrical outlets if water is pooling on the floor, and try to move any valuable furniture or rugs out of the path of the water if it is safe to do so.
