What to know in Cave Creek
Septic and draining
If you're on septic, the pool water has to stay on your property without running off, and never over the drain field. Your contractor should plan the route before the drain.
Hard water
Cave Creek water runs 12 to 15 grains per gallon, so scale builds on tile and plaster. Pebble and quartz hide it best.
Desert lots
Long drives and natural desert landscaping affect equipment access. Mention it when you book the quote visit.
