Anthem is a long way from Mesa. Do you come up?

Yes. It is 50 to 70 minutes up the 101 and the I-17, and you get that time before you book.

Do pipes really freeze in Anthem?

On the coldest winter nights, yes. The risk is exposed pipe: hose bibs, the backflow device, and lines to a softener or pool pump. Cover them when a freeze is in the forecast.

My water heater relief valve keeps dripping. Why?

Often the pressure in the house is too high, from a worn regulator or a dead expansion tank. A new valve alone will not fix that. We gauge the pressure first.

Does my 2003 Anthem home need a repipe?

Usually not. Homes built here then used newer pipe that does not rust out like galvanized. At that age, leaks tend to be fittings, valves, and fixture lines, and those get repaired.

Do you work in Anthem Country Club?

Yes. Give us the gate details when you book, and we follow the community's rules for contractors.

Can you get to Anthem after hours?

We answer 24 hours a day. For a night emergency up here, we give you the drive time first, then the steps to take while the truck is on the way.

Anthem was built all at once

Anthem went up as one master-planned community starting in the late 1990s, north of Phoenix along the I-17. Most of its homes were built over the decade that followed.

That means much of the town reaches the same age at the same time. Original water heaters, pressure regulators, and shutoff valves are hitting 20 years and more together.

Anthem also sits higher than the Valley floor, and winter nights run colder. Pipes nobody worries about in Mesa can freeze up here on the coldest nights.

What Anthem homes run into

A town built in one push ages in one push. Here is what that looks like in Anthem.

Original tanks on borrowed time

A tank gets 8 to 12 years in Valley water. A home from the early 2000s is on its second tank by now, or still on the first and overdue.

Exposed pipes on cold nights

Hose bibs, the irrigation backflow device, and lines to a softener or pool pump sit outside. On a hard freeze an uncovered one can split. Cover them, and know where your main shutoff is.

Regulators and expansion tanks from the build

The regulator on the main and the expansion tank on the heater went in when the house did. When either one fails, pressure climbs and the heater relief valve starts to drip. That drip is the warning.

Newer pipe that does not need a repipe

Homes here got newer pipe: PEX, CPVC, or copper. No galvanized. A leak usually means a bad fitting, valve, or fixture line, and we fix that part.

Anthem areas we cover

Anthem splits into two halves, and we cover both.

The Daisy Mountain Drive corridor
Anthem Way and the I-17

Anthem is 50 to 70 minutes from our Mesa yard, up the 101 and the I-17. That is a real drive, so we give you the time before you book and put Anthem jobs early in the day.
