I’ll focus on the positives, which are many! The appointment was effortless to schedule, great communication. The technician arrived promptly and did a very thorough job eliminating causes for the reported issue. Parts were supplied and replaced and tested before they left. The service was thorough and professional and the problem was solved. However, if I’m being honest, the pricing wasn’t mentioned until the very end and the “estimate” was basically written up after payment so I really had a little sticker shock and was on the spot. That part I didn’t enjoy, but I am grateful for the work which continues to perform flawlessly. They were prompt, didn’t waste any time or leave me hanging with questions. I’d hire again! Next time my only feedback would be to give a ballpark estimate at time of booking or run options before committing to work. Otherwise great and much appreciated.

Noticed some ceiling dry wall damage/wetness in my kitchen directly under the master bathroom uostairs. Called Right Now Plumbing, got me scheduled immediately for diagnostic. Francesco showed up at the designated time and was fantastic. Took the time to look at both areas. Gave me his recommendation with price in mind. We decided to cut into the drywall to pinpoint the leak. It was discovered during flushing that the master bathroom toilet was the culprit. The rubber ring needed replacement. Francesco was knowledgeable, professional and only recommended the absolute needed things and executed everything in a timely manner. Would absolutely use Right Now Plumbing again. Thank you so much Francesco!

I am very happy with Right Now Plumbing and Heating! Brandon was professional, experienced, and completely equipped to take care of the job. On a Saturday morning a slip joint seat broke away under a drain basket. 1st available appt 4pm same day. That led to a tune up of the whole drain set up for 2 drains and a dishwasher connection. By 5pm Saturday evening I was back in business 😎 👏🏻🙌🏻. Easy payment options and E-receipts. Repair confidence warrants a commitment to make it right, should a repair they did fail. If you like having a plumber stand behind their work. At a price you can afford. And availability that is 2nd to no one. Right Now Plumbing and Heating is who you need to call. Literally ANY time of day. On any day. You will get a response from Jeremy. And a call from your technician or plumber when they're enroute. Kinda like the 'old days' dealing with Right Now, they take care of your job, and are just really nice folks. SO glad I called Right Now Plumbing and Heating!

     Our team arrives on time, diagnoses the problem quickly, and gets your home back in working order.

     Slow drains and clogs can be a drag, especially when accompanying guests. No matter if it’s a kitchen sink backing up or a main line issue at a property along De Anza Trail, we use camera inspections even the gnarliest blockages.

     We’ll also let you know what caused the clog and give you tips to prevent future ones.

     AZ’s hard water is tough on water heaters, especially in the Tubac area. Right Now’s team installs and services both traditional tank and tankless water heater systems.

     If you’re waking up to cold showers or noticing rusty colored water, we’ll help figure out whether you need a repair or if it’s time for a replacement. We offer same day service for water heater emergencies

     Older homes throughout Tubac, particularly those built in the 1960s and 70s near the golf course area, usually need repiping from corroded galvanized pipes.

     Luckily we offer repiping using newer material that isn’t affected by the hard water.

     With some of the hardest water in Arizona, basically all Tubac homes will benefit from a quality water softener system.

     We’ll install, maintain, and repair all brands, shapes, and sizes helping homeowners from Camino Otero to Chavez Road protect their plumbing. A good softener installed by a reputable business can extend the life of your water heater for years.

     A broken garbage disposal disrupts your kitchen sink usage (annoying). If you’re in one of the casitas near the Santa Cruz River or a family home off Calle Sombra, we typically complete an installation in under 1 hour.

     We’ll also stress test jams, reset tripped units, and make sure your disposal is properly connected.

     Thinking a kitchen or bathroom remodel is for you? Our team is more than capable of doing the plumbing side of things.

     From upgrading to a vanity in your master bath to installing a farmhouse sink in your Adobe-style kitchen, everything is done to the utmost professionalism. And we’re always sure to leave your home better than we found it.

     As gas line professionals, we safely install and repair natural gas and propane lines for ranges, water heaters, fireplaces, and outdoor grills.

     With many Tubac homes relying on propane it’s critical to have a licensed plumber handle any gas work. We pressure test every line and make sure you’re safe above all else.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the water in Tubac, and do I need a water softener?

Tubac has extremely hard water (often 15-20+ grains per gallon), which causes significant scale buildup. A water softener is very useful to protect your appliances and plumbing.

Lots of wells in Tubac have naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide gas, creating that rotten egg smell. A specialized filtration system can eliminate the odor.

Yes, Arizona requires all Tubac and Tucson plumbers to be licensed through the Registrar of Contractors. Always verify your plumber’s ROC license number.

While very rare, exposed pipes can freeze during cold snaps, especially in unheated areas or older homes without insulation. We recommend insulating exterior hose bibs and exposed pipes.

Low pressure is often caused by mineral buildup in pipes from hard water, but can also mean a leak or pressure regulator issue.

Major plumbing work like repiping or water heater replacements requires permits through Santa Cruz County. Right Now handles all permitting and inspections.

Tank water heaters can last 8-10 years versus the 12-15 year national average. Regular maintenance and a water softener can extend this range.
