If you live in Mesa, you’ve probably noticed the impact hard water can have on your plumbing, appliances, and even your skin and hair. Hard water contains high levels of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, which can lead to buildup in your pipes, reduce the efficiency of water heaters, and creat
Choosing the right water heater is essential for ensuring comfort, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in your home.
Hard water is a common issue for many Arizona homeowners, affecting daily tasks, appliances, and even personal health. While hard water isn’t necessarily harmful to consume, it can cause various inconveniences and long-term damage to your home’s plumbing and fixtures.
If you live in an area with hard water, you may have noticed the telltale signs: mineral buildup on faucets, dull laundry, and dry skin after showers. Hard water occurs when minerals like calcium and magnesium are present in high concentrations, and it can cause a range of issues that affect everyth
If you are tired of spending precious time scraping plates into the garbage or grossed out when you have to scoop food bits from your kitchen sink, it might be time to consider installing a garbage disposal. This underrated kitchen gadget is more than just a modern convenience—it’s a cleanup superhe
You don’t store 40 to 75 gallons of cold water in your Arizonia home for cooking, drinking, and bathing because it flows directly from the tap. Just as you don’t store cold water, there’s no need to keep a tankful of hot water in your basement or laundry room. With a tankless water heater, you get h
But like any hardworking appliance, it can run into issues from time to time. Knowing the signs that your water heater needs repair can save you from a cold shower or a major plumbing disaster. Here are five key indicators from Camcor Plumbing that your water heater might be in trouble:
When it comes to water quality in Arizona, what you can’t see matters just as much as what you can.
Because water expands when it freezes, frozen water pipes can burst from the added pressure. The water pipes most at risk in your Arizona home are those that are uninsulated and located along exterior walls and in attics, basements, crawl spaces, and kitchen cabinets.
When a drain clogs in your Arizona home, you likely grab a drain snake or a plunger for a do-it-yourself fix. However, sometimes the problem goes much deeper than your sink or toilet. If you could see underground, you might notice tree roots invading your sewer line.
Our experts at Camcor Plumbing use a tiny video camera to see inside your sewer line. The camera, which can inspect pipes with a diameter of one to 60 inches, provides an accurate view of your sewer line and helps us assess its condition. It is an effective diagnostic tool that can identify problems
When people think of potential plumbing issues, tree roots are typically not the first culprit that comes to mind. However, for homeowners in Chandler with trees on or near their property, roots infiltrating the sewer lines can be a very real, expensive, and frustrating problem.
The holiday season is right around the corner, and while it’s a time for family, it’s also a time when plumbing systems are often pushed to their limits.
Camcor Plumbing uncovers some of the usual suspects behind these odors, explores how to correct the issue, and offers tips on getting your Gilbert home smelling fresh again.
Whether it is the suspiciously lush patch of grass in your Gilbert yard, the unmistakable, nose-crinkling scent of sewage, or the ominous gurgling sound reverberating up your drains, these are some of the signs every homeowner dreads—signs of a sewer line leak.
Hard water refers to water with a high mineral content, primarily calcium and magnesium. While safe to drink or cook with, these minerals can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, reduce soap effectiveness, and leave spots on dishes and glassware.
Indoor plumbing is one of those things we all take for granted—that is, until we lose that convenience due to a plumbing problem. When plumbing issues inevitably arise, knowing what to do and who to call can drastically reduce the stress and difficulty of the situation. Even if you don’t have a leak
A professional plumbing preventative maintenance plan is a program intended to protect your Arizona home’s plumbing and keep it in optimum condition for you. Our licensed plumbers regularly inspect and maintain your plumbing, looking for anything that may be amiss now or in the near future.
These days, when our hot water goes out on us, it is more than an inconvenience. Our lifestyles depend on hot water in our daily routines. In fact, we are so dependent upon it, water heating ranks second to only space heating for highest energy consumption in the United States.
A whole-house water filtration system is the only way to screen out unwanted elements before they enter your Chandler plumbing system.
The pipes in your house are used daily and hidden from view, so they are easy to overlook and forget about. They might be out of sight, but those pipes need maintenance just like any other plumbing or HVAC system in your home.
They’re called “forever chemicals” because they never seem to disappear. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals that do not break down in the environment or our bodies. They can travel through soil to contaminate municipal water systems and private wells.
Sump pumps are the silent heroes of basements, and homes in general. Without any hoopla, they quietly protect your home from flooding, and living in Arizona, you know basement flooding can happen quite easily. It only takes that one major rainfall or storm to foil your sump pump’s success rate.
Camcor Plumbing is committed to bringing you the most up-to-date information on safe drinking water and ensuring you and your family are protected against the contaminants that could be present in your Mesa home’s water.

There are few things more annoying than running out of hot water in the middle of a shower. But do not fret if this happens. It is more than likely an issue with your hot water heater.
Plumbing emergencies may seem like spontaneous events that happen without warning, but that’s not always the case.
An ostrich hiding its head in the sand to avoid danger is actually a myth. But it is no myth many Arizona homeowners will ignore plumbing problems, hoping they will just go away.
Imagine this winter, sitting in your Mesa home by the fire, looking out the window at the falling snowflakes while sipping your hot cocoa with marshmallows. Life is good. It is good, that is, until you hear the loud rush of water somewhere in your Arizona home.
At Camcor Plumbing, we recommend an annual plumbing inspection for your Gilbert home. Many homeowners pass on the inspection not realizing its importance in your regular home maintenance.
The whole idea of a plumbing inspection is to head off any potential plumbing issues in your Mesa home––to avert a disaster or costly repair. But why do so many people not have one then? They probably do not realize it should be part of their regular home maintenance plan.
You depend on your sump pump to prevent your Gilbert home from flooding in the basement.
Are you dealing with one toilet clog after another?
If you have “city” water, well pumps do not need to be part of your vocabulary. If you do have a well, you will want to read on.
Accidents that can taint your water supply may occur. Pipes can corrode and release metal into your drinking water. Municipal water mains break, giving contaminants a chance to enter supply lines.
