Garbage Disposal RepairService for Tempe Homes and Businesses
Plumbing here is not one system repeated over and over. A 1958 ranch house north of Broadway has copper cast into the slab and a cast-iron drain under it. A rental near campus has been re-piped in patches by whoever was cheapest that year. A 2004 house out toward the east valley has PEX, a manifold and a softener loop in the garage. The same symptom gets diagnosed differently in each of them, which is why a plumber should ask about the building before quoting anything.
Two local conditions drive most of the problems. The first is water hardness: Salt River, Verde and Colorado River water arrives loaded with minerals, so scale builds in water heaters, tankless heat exchangers, faucet cartridges and angle stops faster than it does almost anywhere else. The second is heat. Garages sit well above outdoor temperature through the summer, and that is where most Tempe water heaters live. Add monsoon storms in July and August that push water into floor drains and yards, and you have the shape of most local plumbing trouble.
