Emergency Plumber in Apache Junction, AZ

Two water utilities and a sewer district

Apache Junction sits at the foot of the Superstition Mountains in Pinal County, about 31 miles from downtown Phoenix, and it has two water utilities. Which one serves a home depends on its location: the Apache Junction Water District (480-982-6030) or Arizona Water Company (480-982-2201). The city's Water Resources page has a Find My Provider map, and your bill will say. Sewer service inside the city comes from the Apache Junction Sewer District at (480) 941-6754, and Southwest Gas is the natural gas utility.

The Water District's water is classified as hard, above 10.5 grains per gallon, so mineral scale builds up in water heaters and fixture valves. The city's permit rules address manufactured homes as well as site-built houses: like-for-like water heater swaps in one- and two-family homes and manufactured homes are generally exempt, but replacing or rearranging valves, pipes or fixtures needs a permit from Building Safety (480-982-8002).

Who to call

Warning signs

• A soft or spongy floor near a bathroom or water heater
• In a manufactured home, water dripping under the floor or pooling along the skirting
• Drains that gurgle and back up together
• Pressure dropping suddenly all over the house

When you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who serves Apache Junction. Give the address and the nearest major road, such as Idaho Road, Ironwood Drive or the Apache Trail, say which water utility you're on if you know, and ask about after-hours pricing before anyone heads out.

Seasonal timing

Desert heat stresses water heaters and exposed lines all summer, and monsoon storms can flood yards and wash debris into cleanouts. On the rare freezing night, supply lines under manufactured homes and exposed hose bibs are the most vulnerable, so keep skirting intact and pipes underneath insulated. Night and weekend calls typically cost more. No arrival time is promised.
