Commercial Plumbing in Wittmann, AZ

Wittmann is a small, unincorporated farming community, so plumbing permits come from Maricopa County Planning and Development, and commercial work here often means farm, dairy and livestock buildings as much as storefronts. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Wittmann.

What to expect on the call

Tell us what kind of property it is, whether a shop, farm building, dairy barn or church, along with what failed and whether animals, crops or customers depend on the water right now.

Local details

Wittmann sits about 35 miles northwest of central Phoenix along US 60 and the Grand Avenue corridor, near the Hassayampa River. It was originally called Nadaburg and is still agricultural, with farms growing dates, citrus, grapes, alfalfa, lettuce and cantaloupes, along with livestock farms and dairies. The median year built for homes here is 2001, and about 8 percent predate 1980, so the area mixes newer construction with older farm buildings.

Because Wittmann is unincorporated, Maricopa County Planning and Development issues permits. Like-for-like plumbing repairs use a web-issued permit, and new gas lines for items such as a barbecue, fireplace or pool or spa heater use a non-technical permit. Water and sewer providers for Wittmann weren't confirmed, and no backflow program was found, so check how the property is supplied before planning work. Whatever the source, a farm that connects stock tanks, wash-down hoses, chemical mixing or irrigation to the drinking water supply needs proper backflow protection to keep that water clean.

Summer heat bakes exposed pipes and fittings around barns and pens, and the occasional winter freeze can split exposed lines and hose bibbs. No gas utility was confirmed, and outlying properties may use propane or be all-electric. If anyone smells gas, get everyone out first, then call 911 and the gas utility or propane supplier from outside.

Commercial Plumbing questions in Wittmann

Does our address fall under a town building department or the county?

Wittmann is unincorporated, so Maricopa County Planning and Development handles permits. Like-for-like plumbing repairs use a web-issued permit.

Do landscape irrigation and fire lines need their own backflow protection?

Any connection that could pull non-drinking water back into the supply, such as irrigation, stock tanks or chemical mixing, needs backflow protection. Ask the water provider, if there is one, what it requires.

What details help a plumber before a commercial service call?

Give clear directions and gate details, the type of property, which buildings or fixtures are affected and how the property gets its water.

What should staff do if they smell gas inside the building?

Get everyone out of the building first. From outside, call 911 and the gas utility or propane supplier that serves the property.
