Types of Projects

Sewer Line Jobs We Do Every Day in Tempe

Sewer problems come in different shapes and sizes. Here's a look at the specific work we handle most often across Tempe and the East Valley.

Spot Sewer Line Repair

When only a small section of pipe is cracked or has a collapsed joint, a spot repair is the right call. We excavate the damaged section, replace it with PVC or ABS pipe, and restore the trench. Typical jobs run 2–6 feet of pipe.

Full Lateral Replacement

When a line is old, root-damaged, or bellied across a long run, we replace the entire lateral from the cleanout at the house to the tap at the city main. We pull permits, work to Tempe's current code, and restore the surface.

Trenchless Pipe Bursting

A bursting head cracks the old pipe outward while pulling a new HDPE pipe into place behind it. No open trench, full pipe replacement, and your yard stays intact. Good when the old pipe is too far gone for lining.

CIPP Liner Installation

We pull a resin-saturated felt tube through your existing pipe and cure it in place with UV light or steam. The result: a smooth, seamless new pipe inside the old one, rated for 50+ years, with no joints for roots to enter.

Hydro Jetting Maintenance

Grease, scale, and soft root mass inside the pipe respond to high-pressure water at 3,500–4,000 PSI. We run the nozzle through the full length of the line to restore full flow capacity before a blockage becomes a backup.

Root Intrusion Control

Palm trees and citrus in Tempe are aggressive rooters. We mechanically cut the roots, flush the line, and apply a foaming RootX herbicide treatment that inhibits regrowth for 12–24 months without harming the tree above ground.

Sewer Backup Emergency Response

Sewage backing up through floor drains or toilets is a health hazard. We dispatch 24/7, clear the main line blockage, and inspect for structural damage that could cause a repeat. We also coordinate with your plumber on the fixture side.

Post-Remodel Sewer Tie-In

Adding a bathroom or ADU? The sewer lateral needs to be sized and inspected before rough-in. We handle the tie-in to the main line, pull the city permit, and schedule the inspection so your build stays on schedule.

Materials & Methods

How We Actually Fix Sewer Lines

Every sewer repair in Tempe starts with a CCTV camera inspection — we push a high-definition crawler through your line and record everything. That footage tells us whether you have a hairline crack, a collapsed section, root intrusion at a joint, a belly (low spot where sewage pools), or grease buildup. Guessing wastes your money. The camera tells us exactly what to fix.

For trenchless repairs, we use cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) as our primary method. The liner material is a fibreglass-reinforced felt tube saturated in two-part epoxy resin. Once it's cured — either with UV light or steam — it bonds to the inside of the host pipe and creates a smooth, root-resistant, corrosion-proof surface. NASSCO PACP ratings guide how we classify pipe condition and select the right intervention. A pipe rated structural defect category 5 gets a full liner; a category 2 can often be cleaned and spot-repaired.

When lining isn't viable, we use pipe bursting. A hydraulic bursting head cracks the old pipe outward while pulling a continuous string of HDPE pipe behind it. HDPE is fused at the joints — no bells, no gaskets, no entry points for roots — and it's rated for 100+ year service life. We use Grundocrack or TT Technologies equipment depending on the job diameter and host pipe material.

For open-cut work, all replacement pipe is Schedule 40 PVC conforming to ASTM D3034 for sewer applications. We bed and backfill to the Tempe city standard — 4 inches of sand bedding, proper compaction in lifts, and surface restoration matching the existing material (concrete, pavers, asphalt, or lawn). Every open-cut job that crosses the property line requires a Tempe city permit and a final inspection.

Hydro jetting uses truck-mounted water systems capable of 4,000 PSI and 18 GPM. The rotating nozzle head cuts through grease columns, scale, and soft root mass while flushing the debris downstream. It's the most thorough cleaning method available and is the standard first step before any liner installation so the resin bonds to clean pipe wall.

Common Questions

Sewer Line Repair FAQ

How much does sewer line repair cost in Tempe?
Cost depends on the type of repair, pipe depth, and length of damage. A simple spot repair is far less than a full replacement. We give you a straight quote after a camera inspection — no guessing, no surprises.
How much does a sewer line inspection cost?
A camera inspection in Tempe typically runs $150–$300. If we find a problem and you move forward with the repair, many companies apply the inspection fee toward the job — ask us about that when you call.
What is trenchless sewer repair and does it work in Tempe?
Trenchless repair fixes your pipe from the inside using either pipe lining (CIPP) or pipe bursting. It works great in Tempe because the caliche soil here is hard to dig through. You save your yard, your concrete, and usually a significant amount on labor.
My sewer line is backing up — what should I do?
Stop using all drains, toilets, and the washing machine right away. Call us and we'll get someone out fast. Multiple drains backing up at once almost always means the main sewer line is blocked, not just one fixture.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency sewer repair in Tempe?
Yes. Sewer backups don't wait for business hours. Call us any time of day or night and we'll get a crew to you.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
A standard lateral replacement takes one to two days for traditional excavation. Trenchless replacement can often be done the same day. We'll give you a timeline before we start.
Does homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repair?
Standard homeowner's policies usually don't cover sewer line repairs unless you have a specific sewer backup rider. Check your policy — and call us regardless, because we'll help you document the damage properly.
What causes sewer lines to break in Tempe?
The biggest culprits here are tree roots (palm and citrus are the worst offenders), age and corrosion on clay or cast-iron pipe, ground shifting in the caliche soil, and grease buildup. We see all of these regularly.
What is pipe lining (CIPP)?
CIPP stands for cured-in-place pipe lining. We insert a resin-saturated liner into your damaged pipe, inflate it, and cure it with heat or UV light. The result is a smooth, joint-free pipe inside your old one — good for 50+ years.
Who is responsible for the sewer lateral in Tempe?
In Tempe, the property owner owns the sewer lateral from the house all the way to the connection with the city main in the street. That means maintenance and repairs are your responsibility — we handle all of it.
