How to Prevent Frozen Pipes on Rare Cold Nights in San Tan Valley (A Local Plumber's Checklist)

San Tan Valley homeowners call us about pipes more than almost anything else. Here is what our technicians look for, what it usually costs, and when it is time to call a licensed plumber.

What to watch for

• Changes in water pressure or temperature
• New noises from pipes, drains or the water heater
• Water stains, damp drywall or a musty smell
• A water bill that jumps without a reason

Why it happens in San Tan Valley

The East Valley's hard water (often over 15 grains per gallon) leaves scale in pipes and appliances, and summer heat puts extra strain on everything from water heaters to irrigation lines.
