- Warm floor or running meter: close the main shutoff and call for slab leak repair.

Common Plumbing Problems in Hurricane Homes
Hurricane's drinking water comes from 2 springs, Toquerville and Ash Creek, and 3 city wells, plus water bought from the Washington County Water Conservancy District at Sand Hollow and Quail Lake.
A separate pressurized irrigation system carries untreated Virgin River water, which the city says is not drinkable and can run muddy during summer floods. The median Hurricane home was built in 2003.
Irrigation Water Is Not Drinking Water
Hurricane's pressurized irrigation system delivers Virgin River water that is settled but not treated. It must never be connected to the house plumbing, and it can turn muddy during summer floods and clog sprinkler filters. If you're adding a hose bib or yard hydrant, make sure the plumber knows which system it ties into.
Finding a Slab Leak
- Turn off every fixture and watch the meter.
- Feel the floors for a warm strip.
- Listen for running water near walls.
- Close the main shutoff and call for slab leak repair.
First Water Heater Replacements
Tanks installed in 2000s homes are at the end of their life.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Hurricane
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Hurricane.
- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- Scale. Crusted valves and elements are replaced, not cleaned.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.

- What is the arrival window?
- Is there a service, trip or after-hours fee?
- For an emergency, will you stop the damage first and quote the permanent repair before starting it?
