Common Plumbing Issues in Tempe

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

🎓Student Rental Property Abuse

Properties near ASU suffer from tenant neglect, clogged drains from improper disposal, and damage from parties. Landlords frequently need drain cleaning, garbage disposal replacement, and toilet repairs.

🏚️Aging 1950s-1970s Infrastructure

Central Tempe neighborhoods like Maple-Ash contain original plumbing systems 50-70 years old. Cast iron drains are deteriorating, galvanized pipes are corroded, and sewer lines need replacement.

🏢Multi-Family Plumbing Complexities

Tempe has numerous apartment complexes and condos with shared plumbing systems. Main line blockages, water pressure issues, and identifying which unit has a leak requires specialized experience.

🏪Commercial District Demands

Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe businesses need grease traps, commercial water heaters, backflow prevention, and health department-compliant plumbing. We handle restaurant, retail, and office plumbing.

🌊Tempe Town Lake Impact

Homes near the lake face higher humidity levels for Arizona, affecting outdoor plumbing corrosion rates. Properties also need specialized irrigation to handle higher soil moisture.

💧Hard Water in Older Areas

North Tempe particularly suffers from hard water issues. Without softeners, pipes in 30+ year old homes develop severe scale buildup and pinhole leaks.
