A woman in Ahwatukee called us last week in a panic. Her bathroom ceiling was leaking and the AC guy told her to “call a plumber.”
She thought it was the roof at first, but nope — it was the upstairs toilet, slowly leaking into the drywall and soaking through. We cut out the damaged pipe, fixed the wax ring, and had her ceiling patched up by the weekend.
This is what we do. Every day.

Common Phoenix Plumbing Problems We Fix
Living in the desert creates unique plumbing challenges. The extreme heat makes pipes expand and contract, causing joints to loosen.
The hard water clogs everything over time. Pool equipment puts extra stress on your water lines.
Here are problems we see all the time:
Mineral buildup in pipes and fixtures
Pool equipment leaks and repairs
Irrigation system problems
Cracked sewer lines from shifting soil
Corroded pipe fittings
Hard water issues (we provide water softener systems)
Serving All of Phoenix and Surrounding Areas
The soil in Phoenix shifts as it dries out and gets wet again. This movement can crack sewer lines and cause expensive damage.
We use video cameras to inspect sewer lines and find problems before they turn into disasters.
Our service area covers all of Phoenix, from South Scottsdale near Tempe up to North Scottsdale near Carefree.
We know the different neighborhoods and the plumbing challenges each area faces.
Older homes in areas like Coronado and Papago Park often have original galvanized pipes that need replacing.
Seasonal Plumbing Problems in Phoenix
Different times of year = different plumbing problems. Here's what we see the most in Phoenix:
Winter: Yes, Phoenix freezes sometimes. Uninsulated outdoor pipes crack and break.
Spring: Roots go wild, especially in older neighborhoods with big trees and old clay sewer lines.
Summer: Ground shifts, pipes sweat, and slab leaks show up more often.
Fall: Water heaters quit after the stress of summer use.
Pro tip: If your water heater is older than 10 years, fall is a smart time to replace it before it dies during holiday season.

Burst pipe at midnight? Toilet overflowing before guests come over? No hot water on a Sunday?
We’ve seen it all — and we answer our phones.
One family in North Phoenix called us at 11 p.m. with a flooded laundry room. Their washing machine line popped off mid-cycle, and they didn’t know how to shut off the valve.
We walked them through it on the phone, then came out early the next morning to replace everything and dry things out.

Tom owns a popular breakfast spot near the Phoenix Airport. His kitchen drain backed up during the morning rush, and raw sewage was coming up through the floor drain.
We had it cleared and disinfected within hours.

We Handle Drain Clogs, Stinky Pipes & Slow Showers — Drainage Service
One of the most frustrating things about living in older homes around Phoenix is the drains. They’re either too old, too small, or too full of grease and hair.
We had a guy in Sunnyslope whose kitchen sink backed up every time he ran the dishwasher.
After a camera inspection, we found a low spot in the drain where gunk had collected for years.
We snaked it, jetted it, and replaced the section with better slope. No more issues.
Don’t just pour chemicals down the drain and hope.
Let us fix it right.
We also handle indoor drainage problems like floor drains in garages and laundry rooms.
These drains can get clogged with lint, dirt, and debris over time. When they back up, you get standing water that can damage your floors and create mold problems.
Sewer camera inspections
Hydro-jetting (clears grease, scale, and roots)
Drain cleaning and snaking
Sewer line repair and replacement
French drain installs (yes, some homes here need ‘em)
Floor drain and main line service
Water heater won’t stay lit? Shower takes 10 minutes to heat up?
In Phoenix, that’s usually either a dead thermostat, sediment build-up, or — if it’s over 10 years old — the whole unit might be on its last legs.
One customer in Arcadia was heating water on the stove for a week before finally calling us. (He didn’t want to deal with a replacement.)
We installed a new tankless system, and now he’s got endless hot water and lower gas bills.
Tankless water heaters are getting popular in newer Phoenix homes. They save space and provide endless hot water, but they need regular maintenance to work properly.
We descale tankless units and replace filters to keep them running like new.
We’ll talk through the options and give you straight answers — no gimmicks.

Tired of Hard Water? We're a Trusted Water Softener System Supplier
Phoenix has hard water. No secret there. You see the crust on your fixtures, the cloudy glasses, and the dry skin after every shower.
We had a customer in Ahwatukee who bought a brand-new dishwasher and it started failing within 6 months.
She thought it was defective. Turns out the hard water was clogging it up.
We installed a softener and a sediment pre-filter. Problem solved.
Dave from Arcadia had us install a whole-house water softener. His old one died after 8 years, and his water spots were getting worse.
Within a week of installing the new system, his dishes were spotless and his hair felt softer.
His wife was happy because her expensive face wash started working again.
If you’re not sure what you need, we’ll test your water and walk you through it without the sales pitch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Excellent Service, Outstanding Value!
Trust our plumbers for quality, professional work. Each residential technician is uniformed, badged, and arrives in a vehicle fully stocked with all the tools and equipment needed to handle any home plumbing issue.
Water Heater Servicing And Installation
If your hot water isn’t as hot as you'd like or if you see discolored water from the tap, it might be time to inspect your water heater. Sediment build-up over time can damage the tank. Draining and flushing the tank may be needed to remove these sediments. We recommend having a professional handle water heater repairs to prevent potential issues.
Sewer And Water Line Repair And Maintenance
Like many plumbing issues, a water line leak might start small but will likely worsen if not repaired promptly. It’s wise to call professionals before a minor issue turns into a costly major problem.
Drain Repair And Maintenance
To maintain your drains, regular cleaning is essential. Along with water, your drains face food debris, grease, soap, and hair, making occasional thorough cleaning necessary. If your sinks are draining slower than before, call us—we have solutions to help.
Water Softener & Filtration
Phoenix water is hard - really hard. The minerals in our water supply can damage appliances, leave spots on dishes, and make your skin and hair feel dry. That's why almost every home in the valley needs a water softener system.

People Also Ask... Phoenix FAQ's
What is a reasonable price for a plumber?
A reasonable price for plumbing services in Phoenix typically falls between $100 and $150 per hour. Many plumbing companies also offer flat rates for common services, like toilet repairs or faucet replacements. Reasonable pricing should always reflect the plumber’s licensing, quality of work, and warranty on services.
What do I do if I can't afford a plumber?
If you’re unable to afford a plumber, start by asking if the company offers payment plans or financing options—many do, especially for urgent repairs. You can also tackle small fixes yourself with online tutorials, but be careful not to cause bigger problems. Local assistance programs or nonprofits may offer help for low-income homeowners in emergencies.
What is the hourly rate for a plumber in Arizona?
The typical hourly rate for a licensed plumber in Scottsdale is $100 to $150. For specialized services or emergency situations, hourly charges can be higher. Some jobs are priced per project instead of hourly, so it’s always a good idea to request an upfront estimate.
Do plumbers negotiate prices?
Yes, plumbers may be willing to negotiate—especially for larger projects, or if you're getting multiple services done at once. While many companies use flat-rate pricing for transparency, it's always okay to ask about discounts, bundled pricing, or seasonal promotions.
Why is hiring a plumber so expensive?
Plumbers in Phoenix charge what they do because plumbing involves technical skills, licensing, and liability insurance. They're often available on short notice for emergencies and bring specialized tools and years of expertise. That peace of mind—knowing the job is done right—is part of the cost.
Why do plumbers charge so much per hour?
Hourly rates reflect more than just labor. Plumbers factor in travel time, insurance, tools, training, fuel, and business expenses. Additionally, they're solving high-risk problems that, if done wrong, could cause water damage, mold, or even health hazards.
What do most plumbers make per hour?
In Phoenix, employed plumbers typically earn $25 to $45 per hour. Self-employed or master plumbers who run their own businesses often charge much more per hour—up to $100+—to cover overhead and business expenses.
Should I hire a plumber or do it myself?
DIY can be a smart choice for small jobs like unclogging a toilet or replacing a showerhead. But for anything involving sewer lines, gas lines, water heaters, or pipe replacements, it’s best to hire a professional. A licensed plumber will ensure everything is up to code and safe.
How do you find an honest plumber?
Look for plumbers with verified reviews, proper licensing and insurance, and transparent pricing. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the BBB, and ask if they offer written estimates and warranties. A reputable plumber will explain your options clearly and won’t pressure you into unnecessary repairs.
What is the most expensive plumbing job?
The most expensive plumbing projects in Phoenix are usually sewer line replacements, water main repairs, or whole-house repiping. These jobs may involve digging, permits, and replacing major infrastructure, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 or more depending on your home’s layout.
What do plumbers charge for a service call?
In the Phoenix area, service call fees typically range from $50 to $150. This fee covers the plumber’s time and travel to inspect the problem. Some companies will waive the fee if you move forward with the repair work during the same visit.
