Common Plumbing Issues in Phoenix

Our experience serving Phoenix has shown us the unique challenges this community faces. Here's what we see most often:

💧Hard Water Damage

Phoenix has some of the hardest water in the nation (250-350 PPM). Mineral buildup clogs pipes, damages water heaters, and destroys fixtures. We recommend water softeners and descaling treatments for most Phoenix homes.

🏛️Aging Infrastructure in Historic Districts

Central Phoenix neighborhoods like Encanto, Roosevelt Row, and Willo Historic District contain homes from the 1920s-1950s with original galvanized or clay sewer lines. These require careful inspection and often full repiping.

🌡️Extreme Temperature Pipe Stress

Summer temperatures exceeding 115°F cause significant expansion/contraction in outdoor plumbing, hot water pipes, and irrigation systems. We see increased pipe failures and joint leaks during peak summer months.

🏠Slab Leak Epidemic

Most Phoenix homes are built on concrete slabs without crawl spaces. The combination of shifting desert soil, hard water corrosion, and copper pipe oxidation makes slab leaks extremely common, especially in homes 15+ years old.

⛈️Monsoon Flood Damage

July-September monsoons bring sudden, intense rainfall that overwhelms drainage systems. We respond to frequent sewer backups, sump pump failures, and water damage from improperly installed or maintained systems.

🌳Root Intrusions from Desert Landscaping

Palo verde, mesquite, and other desert trees have aggressive root systems seeking water. They infiltrate sewer lines and irrigation systems, requiring professional root removal and preventive treatments.

How Phoenix's Climate Affects Your Plumbing

Temperature Extremes:

• Summer: 105-120°F daily highs (June-August)
• Winter: 65-75°F daily highs (December-February)
• Monsoon Season: July-September heavy rainfall

Plumbing Impact:

Extreme heat affects outdoor plumbing, irrigation systems, and causes significant thermal expansion. Sudden monsoon flooding overwhelms drainage systems. Winter freezes are rare but do occur at night in outlying areas.
