Sewer Line Repair in Tempe, AZ

A cracked, root-damaged, or collapsed sewer line is one of the more stressful problems a Tempe homeowner can face. The good news: most repairs are faster and less expensive than people expect — especially when caught early with a camera inspection.

Sewer lines in Tempe fail for a handful of predictable reasons. Clay pipe from the 1950s and 60s is at the end of its service life. PVC joints crack when the caliche soil shifts. Tree roots from palms and citrus find every gap and exploit it. Grease and non-flushable wipes build up over years until the line is too narrow to drain.

The first step is always a camera inspection. We push a high-definition crawler through your cleanout and record the whole run. You see the footage. We can pinpoint the exact location and depth of every defect so there are no surprises when we quote.

From there, the repair method depends on what we find. A single collapsed joint or cracked section gets a spot repair — we excavate just that section, replace it with Schedule 40 PVC, and backfill properly. A line that's deteriorated across 20 or 30 feet is a candidate for CIPP lining or full replacement. We'll walk you through the options and the tradeoffs before you decide anything.
