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 like cracks and corrosion before they escalate and cause costly damage.

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.

Some homes built in the 1930s and earlier have clay sewer lines that can become brittle and break, leaking contaminants into the soil.

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.
