Who answers when you call
This is a dispatch and referral service for homeowners in Camp Verde and the Verde Valley. Calls go to a line that is answered 24/7, and each one is routed to a licensed and insured plumber serving the caller's area, depending on the service you need and where the home is.
Camp Verde runs on groundwater, and not every address uses the same water or sewer system. The Town of Camp Verde supplies its water customers from three wells, but some properties are served by Verde Lakes Water Company or by a private well, and some homes are on septic instead of Town sewer. Tell the dispatcher which applies and the first questions are the right ones.
How the service worksKnow your water supplier? Say so on the call
The supplier, sewer or septic, and fuel type change how a job is planned. Give the dispatcher what you know and a plumber serving your area starts from there.
Four things that change a Camp Verde plumbing job
Plumbing in a town with its own wells, a mix of sewer and septic, and propane or natural gas by property comes down to a few facts about your address.
Which water supplier
Town customers get water pumped from Town wells, and the Town's 2025 water report calls it moderately hard, averaging 75 to 130 parts per million, or about 4.3 to 7.6 grains per gallon. Verde Lakes Water Company and private wells are separate systems that report their own numbers, so test before you size a softener or flush a heater.
Sewer or septic
The Town runs one wastewater plant, but sewer lines do not reach every parcel. The Town's own permit form asks whether a property has a sewer permit or a septic permit. Confirm which you have before any drain or sewer-line work, and remember that tank pumping is a different trade.
Propane or natural gas
The same Town form lists propane, natural gas or all-electric as the options, so fuel is a property-by-property fact. Know which one feeds your water heater and who supplies it. A gas smell is not a plumbing call first: leave the house, then call the gas supplier or 911.
The contractor's license
Arizona licenses plumbing contractors through the Registrar of Contractors, with separate residential, commercial and dual classifications. Inside Town limits a contractor also needs a Town Business License. Ask the plumber for the Registrar of Contractors license number and check it before work starts.

Plumbing services for Camp Verde homes
Hidden leaks
A damp wall, a spinning water meter or a bill that jumped: leak detection and repair in Camp Verde starts by confirming where the water goes.
Clogs and backups
One slow sink and a backed-up main are different problems. See drain cleaning and clog clearing for how to tell them apart.
No hot water
Decide between a fix and a swap on the water heater repair page, then plan a replacement if the tank is done.
Worn-out pipe
Repeated leaks in the same system point toward repiping and pipe repair rather than another patch.
Sewer line trouble
Gurgling fixtures, slow floor drains and repeat backups are covered under sewer line repair and replacement.
Water on the floor
After a leak or a flood, water damage restoration covers removal and drying of the wet area.

Three problems Camp Verde homeowners call about first
No hot water: repair or replace
If the heater is leaking at the tank, replacement is usually the answer; if it is only lukewarm or tripping, a part may fix it. Mineral scale shortens a heater's life, so hardness matters: Town water averages 75 to 130 ppm, and a well or Verde Lakes connection can differ. Before a swap, ask the Town's Building Safety Division at (928) 554-0050 whether a permit applies; no Town rule on water heater permits is published.
A wet spot, a high bill or running-water sounds
Shut off every fixture and watch the water meter. If it still moves, water is leaking somewhere between the meter and the house. Before anyone cuts into a floor or wall, ask the plumber to confirm what your home is built on and what the pipes are made of, rather than assuming. Call 811 at least two full working days before any digging on the property.
A drain that keeps backing up
One slow fixture is usually a local clog; several fixtures slowing together, or a toilet bubbling when the washer drains, points to the main line. Confirm whether the home is on Town sewer or septic first, because the fix and the office to call differ. Irrigation and sprinkler lines are a separate trade, and a plumber will tell you when the problem is outside the house.
What to do while you wait for the plumber to call back
These are the safe steps for the first few minutes. Anything beyond them is the plumber's job.
| What you see | Do this now | Then |
|---|---|---|
| A burst pipe or a major leak | Close the main water valve, usually where the line enters the house or at the meter box. | Call the dispatch line and say where the valve is. |
| Sewage backs up in a tub or floor drain | Stop running water in the house, including washers and dishwashers. | Call, and say whether the home is on Town sewer or septic. |
| No water at any tap | Check the main valve and ask a neighbor whether they are also out. | Call; Town customers can also ask the Town Water Division about an outage. |
| Water heater leaking | Close the cold water valve above the tank and turn off its power or gas. | Call for a repair or replacement visit. |
| Smell of gas | Leave the house. No switches, flames or indoor phone calls. | Call the gas supplier or 911 from outside, then a plumber once cleared. |
Say up front if water is actively leaking, sewage is backing up or the whole house has no water, so the dispatcher knows the call is urgent. More plumbing questions are answered on the FAQs page.

What should I do if I smell gas and also see a water heater leak?
Leave the house first. Do not flip switches, light anything or use a phone inside, and call your gas supplier or 911 from outside. The water leak can wait until the gas is cleared. Once it is safe, shut off the cold water supply to the heater and call the dispatch line for a plumber serving your area.
What do I check first when there is no water at all?
See whether it is every tap or just one, then check whether a neighbor is also out. If the whole house is dry, make sure the main valve is fully open. Town of Camp Verde water customers can also call the Town Water Division to ask about an outage. On a private well the cause may be the pump or pressure tank, and on Verde Lakes Water Company it is worth asking the company about an outage, so tell the dispatcher which supply you have.
Can I reach a plumber after hours, at night or on a weekend?
The dispatch line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Whether a plumber can start that hour depends on demand, distance and conditions, and no arrival time is promised. Homes in Rimrock, Cornville, Cottonwood and Sedona are farther out, so the dispatcher confirms availability for the address when you call.
Who do I call about a leak in a rental house?
Tell the owner or property manager right away, because they decide who does the repair. While you wait, the one step you can take yourself is to close the shutoff valve for the leaking fixture or, if the water will not stop, the main valve. If water is spreading and no one answers, call the dispatch line and explain that the home is a rental.
Is same-day plumbing available in Camp Verde?
Same-day service is offered when it is available. It depends on the time you call, the kind of job and where the home is, and no response time is guaranteed. Say first if water is actively leaking, sewage is backing up or there is no water, so the dispatcher knows the call is urgent.
