Backups, slow drainage, or foul odors in the yard often mean a sewer line problem. We diagnose it with a camera first, then fix it — often without digging up your entire yard.
Many homes in Tempe's established neighborhoods, particularly near downtown and ASU, have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals installed decades ago. These materials crack and shift over time, and Arizona's expansive clay soil — which swells and contracts with moisture changes — puts extra stress on buried lines.
We start every sewer line job with a camera inspection to see the exact condition and location of any damage. From there, trenchless repair is often possible, avoiding a full excavation of your yard or driveway.
We see the exact problem before recommending a repair — no guesswork.
Many repairs can be done without digging a full trench across your yard.
We understand how expansive clay soil affects buried sewer lines in the Valley.
Every technician is fully licensed under Arizona ROC regulations.
Every job is different, so these are general starting ranges. You'll always get a written estimate before we start work.

Traditional sewer repair means digging a trench the full length of the damaged pipe — tearing up landscaping, and in desert-landscaped Tempe yards, potentially disturbing mature cacti or hardscape that's expensive to replace. Trenchless repair uses small access points instead, often completing the job in a single day.
Trenchless isn't right for every situation — a severely collapsed pipe may still need excavation — which is why we always start with a camera inspection before recommending a method.
Cost varies based on damage extent and whether trenchless repair is possible. A camera inspection lets us give you an accurate written estimate.
Not always — a severely collapsed section may still require traditional excavation. We confirm which method fits after the camera inspection.
Yes, particularly in older Tempe neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and can infiltrate cracks in aging clay pipe.
Yes, sewage backups are treated as emergencies with priority response.
"Installed a whole-home water softener and finally our fixtures aren't covered in white scale anymore. Professional and upfront the whole way."
"Had a recurring drain clog for months. They ran a camera, found the real issue, and hydro jetted it clean. Hasn't come back since."
"Backflow testing was due and I had no idea where to start. They handled the whole thing, paperwork included."
