Plumbers in Clarkdale

Two plumbers covering Clarkdale, one of which also drills and services water wells, which out here is a genuinely different trade.

Midkiff Mechanical holds an active license, ROC 356444, checked against the Registrar of Contractors on the date above.

Collingwood Pump and Plumbing LLC does plumbing and water wells, and its own site says the crew drills. We hold no license number for it, which is not a finding: we match on business name, trading name or phone, and a license often sits under a different legal name. Look it up at roc.az.gov.

Why the well side matters

Clarkdale itself is largely on a municipal supply, but the properties around it, up toward Mingus and out toward the river, are not all so lucky. On a well, a pump failure means no water at all: no taps, no shower, no toilet, and no mains to fall back on.

A company that does both trades is useful precisely because the symptom does not tell you which you have. Low pressure across the whole house can be a plumbing problem or a failing pump or a dropping water level, and somebody who only does one of the two will diagnose from the end they know.

If you are on a well, Rimrock’s well and pump page covers the questions worth asking before you need them, including what to check when buying a property on a well.

Licenses and the exemption

Plumbing is licensed work in Arizona. The exemption is narrow: under $1,000 for labor and materials together, minor work, and no permit involved. A water heater or anything touching the main line is permit territory and needs a licensed contractor whatever it costs.

Ask for the ROC number, the call-out fee, and whether the quote is flat rate or hourly before anyone is dispatched.

Cottonwood, ten minutes away, has considerably more plumbers, and several list around-the-clock phone lines, which neither of these two does. For a burst pipe on a Sunday that is where to look.
