Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions • Arizona Plumbing Estimating

Q:What is caliche and how does it impact plumbing bids in Arizona?

Caliche is a concrete-like natural layer of soil particles cemented by calcium carbonate common across the Phoenix and Tucson basins. Excavating underground plumbing trenches in caliche requires hydraulic hammer attachments and bucket rippers, substantially increasing earthwork labor hours.
