Chandler has been around since 1912, but most of it was built during the growth of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s: U.S. Census data shows about 73% of its homes were built between 1980 and 2009. That gives the city a wide range of plumbing, from older homes near Downtown Chandler to master-planned neighborhoods like Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch in south Chandler. Older homes tend to need valves, supply lines, and water heaters replaced. Newer ones mostly need hard-water maintenance and the occasional install fix.

According to the City of Chandler, most of its water is river water. About 60% comes from the Salt and Verde Rivers, treated at the city's Surface Water Treatment Plant. About 20% comes from the Santan Vista plant the city shares with Gilbert, and the rest comes from 32 city wells. We serve homes across Chandler's ZIP codes, from 85224 to 85286.

Common Chandler plumbing issues we see every week:

• Hard water averaging 16.5 grains per gallon citywide, according to the City of Chandler
• Aging gate valves, angle stops, and supply lines in older homes near Downtown Chandler
• Water heaters and tankless units scaling up before the end of their expected life
• Irrigation backflow preventers and hose bibs that fail on homes with mature landscaping

Call OX Plumbing and tell us what's going on. We usually have a truck within 15 minutes of your door, and a licensed plumber will diagnose it and give you a price before any work starts.

Whether the leak is the city's or yours decides who fixes it. Close your main shut-off valve first if water is running inside the house.

• Water coming up in the street, sidewalk, or around the water meter: call the City of Chandler. During business hours, the city's Public Works and Utilities line for leaks is 480-782-3700 (option 3, then option 1). After hours, call 480-782-4130.
• Leaks inside the house, behind walls, under the slab, or at a water heater, toilet, or valve: that is private plumbing. Call us, and a licensed plumber will find the source and price the repair before any work starts.

The City of Chandler reports hardness from 5 to 20 grains per gallon, with a citywide average of 16.5. The range is wide because river water and well water blend differently depending on where you are and the time of year. On the U.S. Geological Survey's scale, anything past 10.5 grains counts as very hard.

Because your hardness can change through the year, a water softener set for the low end can let scale through when your supply shifts toward harder water. That scale builds up in water heaters, tankless heat exchangers, faucet cartridges, and dishwasher and ice maker valves.

Signs your Chandler home needs a look:

• Spots and crust come back soon after you clean fixtures
• Your softener runs, but the water still feels hard
• A tankless heater shows scale or flow error codes
• A tank heater pops or rumbles while heating

We check softener settings, flush and descale water heaters, and install water treatment systems sized for your home and hardness. See water softeners in Chandler for the city's iron and pH numbers.

The City of Chandler explains that it runs a single-zone distribution system: water is pushed from one part of the city to another, so homes closer to where it enters the system see higher pressure than homes at the edges. Pressure also dips during peak use, about 5 to 8 a.m. and 6 to 8:30 p.m.

So pressure that's a little low at breakfast is normal. Pressure that's low all day, or so high that pipes bang and fixtures drip, isn't. Under the plumbing code, a home with static pressure over 80 PSI needs a pressure-reducing valve (PRV). We test pressure on every visit and repair or replace the PRV, or find the closed valve or hidden leak causing the drop.

At an average of 16.5 grains per gallon, sediment and scale are the main thing that shortens water heater life in Chandler. Our team services tank and tankless models, gas or electric, from a simple flush to a full swap. Details are on our water heater page.

Chandler houses are almost all slab-on-grade, which means a supply line can leak under the floor for a long time before anyone notices. Watch for flooring that feels warm in one spot, a hiss or trickle you can hear when no taps are open, or a bill that climbs without explanation. Pinpointing the leak first keeps the repair small. More on leak detection, slab leak repair, and emergency service.

When a drain keeps clogging, a camera inspection shows whether the cause is grease, roots, or a damaged line, so you only pay for the fix you actually need. Drain cleaning or hydro jetting clears it, and a camera inspection tells us why it happened.
