Sewer and Water Line Issues in Phoenix

Serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the Phoenix Metropolitan Area

A home’s sewer and water delivery systems are often confusing. Since we can’t see directly what’s going on, an expert can help figure out where things come from and where they go, pinpointing areas of concern and presenting solutions.

Sewer and Water Line Issues

Your home’s sewer and water lines are two of the most critical parts of your plumbing system. When they fail, they can bring your household or rental property to a standstill. Because these lines are buried underground, many homeowners don’t notice a problem until it has already become serious. At DeGeorge Plumbing & HVAC, we help Phoenix- area homeowners and landlords catch problems early, minimize damage, and restore full system performance with lasting repairs.

Sewer and Water Line Inspections

Thanks to video inspection technology, we can now pinpoint issues without guesswork. Our technicians insert a small fiber-optic camera into your pipes or walls, giving us a real-time view of the interior condition. This allows us to:

Identify cracks, leaks, and blockages
Locate tree root infiltration
Verify the overall condition of older piping systems
Recommend the most cost-effective repair or replacement solution
Catching these problems early helps avoid costly excavation and emergency repairs later.

How to Prevent Sewer and Water Line Problems

Nobody wants to deal with a sudden sewer backup or a burst water line. The good news is, most of these problems don’t happen overnight. With the right habits and a little proactive care, you can greatly reduce your chances of a costly plumbing emergency.

Here are a few ways to keep your lines in good shape:

Be mindful of what goes down the drain. Grease, oils, wipes (even the ones labeled “flushable”), and hygiene products are some of the biggest culprits behind clogged pipes. Toss them in the trash instead.
Watch what’s happening outside, too. Tree roots love moisture and can sneak into sewer lines through even the tiniest cracks. Plant new trees well away from underground lines, and keep an eye on older landscaping.
Schedule regular inspections. Just like an annual check-up for your HVAC system, a plumbing inspection can catch early warning signs—like corrosion, leaks, or buildup—before they become emergencies.
Pay attention to water pressure and quality. Unexplained drops in water pressure, discolored water, or recurring slow drains often point to a bigger underground problem. Calling us early can mean a quick fix instead of a major repair.
Replace outdated pipes before they fail. Many Phoenix homes still have older galvanized steel or clay sewer pipes that weren’t built to last forever. Upgrading to modern, durable piping can save you from the headaches of leaks and yard damage down the road.

Taking small steps now protects your property value, keeps your tenants or family happy, and saves you money over the long run.

Sewer & Water Line FAQs

Signs of Sewer and Water Line Issues

Sewer and water line issues can develop slowly over time or appear suddenly. Some of the most common warning signs include:

Unexplained puddles or soggy spots in the yard
Foul odors coming from drains or outside near your sewer line
Low water pressure or discolored water in your home
Frequent drain backups despite snaking or plunging
Sudden increases in your water bill without extra usage.
Even if these symptoms seem minor, they can point to serious underground issues that will only get worse without professional attention.

What Can Cause Sewer and Water Line Issues?

Several factors contribute to sewer and water line problems in the Phoenix area:

Aging pipes – Older clay, cast iron, or galvanized steel pipes naturally corrode
and weaken over time.
Tree root intrusion – Roots seek out moisture, often breaking into sewer pipes
through small cracks or joints.
Soil shifting and ground movement – Seasonal changes and soil conditions
can cause pipes to crack or collapse.
Corrosion and buildup – Minerals in Arizona’s hard water can corrode metal
pipes or build up in water lines, restricting flow.
Poor installation – Substandard work or outdated materials can shorten a pipe’s
lifespan.

Understanding the root cause is essential for choosing the right repair method. That’s why we always start with a detailed inspection.
