Plumber in Tempe, AZ

Repeat backups in a home built before the mid-1970s usually point to the sewer line rather than to anything going down the drain. Cast iron scales and cracks with age, and roots find those cracks. Snaking clears the symptom for a while; a camera inspection shows the cause. Once we can see the line we can tell you honestly whether jetting will hold it for years or whether the section needs replacing.

In Tempe it is far more often the pipes. Galvanized steel supply lines corrode from the inside, and the opening narrows year after year until pressure drops noticeably. A telltale sign is rusty water on the hot side after the house has sat unused. We can test pressure at the meter to separate a city-side issue from a household one before you spend anything.

Regularly. Tempe has a lot of rental property and we are set up for it: we can schedule directly with your tenant, send photos and written findings, and invoice the owner. If you manage several units we can also look at them as a group and tell you which ones are heading for trouble, which is far cheaper than reacting to each one.

Usually yes, and often more so than in a new build. Hard water scale is cumulative, so an older home has had decades of mineral building up in the water heater and fixtures. Softening the water stops that clock. We size the unit to your household and your actual water usage instead of selling a standard box.
