Emergency Plumber in Cave Creek, We Answer at 2 AM
Water doesn't wait for business hours. We pick up live when you call, day or night.
The Town's water report says many Cave Creek residents operate private wells. On a well there is no utility to call when something lets go at night, and every shutoff involved is on your property. We pick up the phone at any hour, usually a real person.
Why a Cave Creek Emergency Starts Further Out
Cave Creek has open country on more than one side of it. The Maricopa County park bordering the Town runs 2,922 acres, and the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area covers another 2,154 acres five miles north, which is part of why reaching an address out here takes a while even once we are in town. Getting up to the house is the next piece. On the hillside parcels its code regulates, the Town requires any driveway steeper than 12 percent grade to be paved, and a truck, a light and a length of hose all have to come up whatever yours turns out to be. That part is ours to solve rather than yours. What the water feeds is the piece we need from you. Desert Rural zoning allows Private Ranch use, which the code defines as keeping ranch animals for boarding, breeding, equine training and lessons, sale or 4H, and it allows commercial ranches with riding arenas on five contiguous acres or more. If a barn or a trough runs off the same service as the house, a break at midnight is not only a house problem, and animals do not wait for business hours. Tell us what is on the property when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cave Creek is one of the longer runs we make from our Phoenix office, about 40 to 55 minutes depending on the hour. That distance does not show up in the bill. The diagnostic is $59 at a Cave Creek address at two in the morning, and it is $59 at noon on a Tuesday down the street from our office.
Yes, and it helps to say so when you call. The Town's own water quality report notes that many Cave Creek residents operate private wells, even though the Town system itself does not use groundwater. On a well there is no municipal shutoff at the curb, so the first move is usually at the pressure tank or the pump disconnect, and knowing which one you have before we arrive saves time at the worst hour to be losing it. Well permitting sits with the Arizona Department of Water Resources, and testing the water from a private well is the owner's responsibility, not the Town's.
