Commercial Plumbing Services
In addition to ASU, Maricopa County is home to many offices, restaurants, hotels, car dealerships, schools, health care facilities, and more. Each commercial property has unique plumbing and drainage systems, which vary greatly in scale, usage, and complexity. The bathrooms in ASU’s academic buildings and dorms, for instance, move large volumes of water with powerful flushometers installed on toilets and urinals. The restaurants that line Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe have kitchen drains that handle more water in a day than some homes do in a month.
At Roto-Rooter, we understand that a commercial plumbing system with a problem can grind a business, restaurant, university, or industrial facility to a standstill, costing you time, money, customers or clients, and productivity. That’s why our Tempe plumbing technicians come equipped with the tools and the knowledge to handle commercial facilities throughout Arizona and across North America.

Expert Drain Cleaning in Tempe
Soap scum, kitchen grease, hair, and other debris can build up in drains over time. This leads to a reduction in water flow, and eventually, the kitchen, laundry, shower, tub, or toilet drain can back up and overflow. With 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week service, our Tempe plumbers will be there when you need us, offering comprehensive drain cleaning solutions for commercial and residential storm drains, sewer mains, toilets, sinks, and tubs, along with roof drains and downspouts.
No matter the drain issue, our experts will arrive on the job with state-of-the-art tools designed to remove any debris and restore water flow to your business or home. Once we’ve addressed the clog, our Tempe plumbers will effectively clean the drainpipe from end to end.
Whether you need preventive maintenance or you have a drain cleaning emergency, call us, and an expert will be dispatched to your door to resolve your sewer and drain challenges.
Sewer Line Services in Tempe
When you flush a toilet, run a load of clothes or dishes, brush your teeth, or take a shower, all that wastewater flows through a drainpipe to the sewer system. Over time, however, any debris — from fats and grease to hair and lint — can build up in your drainpipes and lead to a clogged sewer line. Additionally, tree roots can weave their way into your sewer pipeline, thriving on the water and nutrients inside. As roots grow, they become a catchall for toilet paper, hair, and anything else that goes down your drain, leading to a pipe blockage.
When water can’t flow through your sewer line, your toilets, sinks, showers, and other drains may back up, resulting in a flood of contaminated wastewater in your home or commercial property. Not only does sewage pose health hazards to inhabitants, but it can damage the floors, ceilings, furnishings, and drywall.
At Roto-Rooter, we offer regular sewer line inspections to detect and remove blockages before they cause catastrophic damage. We also clean drainpipes from end to end, ensuring optimal water flow. If you suspect your property’s sewer line has structural issues or a potential break, we can make the repairs that align with your budget and your goals. Depending on the cause of the problem, our experts use both Zero-Dig trenchless technology and conventional sewer excavation techniques to get the job done.
In the event of a sewer line backup, our experienced Tempe plumbing team provides water cleanup and mold remediation services to your commercial or residential property. We remove damaged components and dry, disinfect, dehumidify, and treat spaces with an antimicrobial agent to guard against mold.
Water Heater Repairs and Installations
A conventional water heater has an average lifespan of 11 years, while a tankless model may last about two decades. Did you know that water heater issues are among the most common reasons Tempe property owners require a plumber? If you notice any of the following issues with your water heater, it’s time to call a plumber:
Discolored hot water
Hot water that runs out quickly
Leaks around the base
A frequently running water heater
Strange noises coming from the system
Temperature and relief valve leaks
Any of the above signs could indicate problems that range from failed heating elements and holes in the tank to corroded anode rods and clogged vent pipes. Our experienced plumbing technicians repair all types and brands of water heaters, including gas, electric, conventional, and tankless.
We can also advise you on upgrading your current water heater if you are just looking for a new, more energy-efficient model that can effectively cover your entire home or business while fitting into your budget.

Customer Reviews
Regarding your Service Tech (PPARS157) Patrick Parsons - Outstanding Service!!! Not only was he very polite, but after fixing the 2 toilets, he even voluntarily freshened up a ... couple of the toilet bowls that needed to be cleaned, he was very quick and yet thorough- It was such a pleasure to have someone with his character come into our office, I was going to contact the Corporate Office Directly in Cincinnati but I was directed me to this site. I want to say a HUGE 'THANK YOU" to Roto Rooter for hiring him! Our Experience Was Unmatched by your competitors! Deb
I needed to have my main drain re-lined due to cracks and rust. This job ran into a few difficulties but the workers handled it all very well. I was ... very impressed with the quality of work. They put in the extra time needed to be sure that everything was done properly, even correcting mistakes by previous plumbers (not Roto-Rooter). They took care to not damage anything in the house and did a thorough clean-up. The service techs, Nick Specht and Jeremy Morgan, were very nice and knew what they were doing. They were great to work with. I recommend them highly.

Frequently Asked Questions in Tempe
How does Tempe's hard water affect my drains?
At 12.3 grains per gallon, Tempe's water is among the hardest in the Valley. Calcium and magnesium deposits narrow pipe openings over time, creating surfaces that trap grease and debris. Annual drain cleaning removes this buildup before it causes complete blockages.
What causes recurring drain clogs in Tempe?
Hard water mineral scale and root intrusion are the primary causes. Scale rebuilds continuously, and desert-adapted plants aggressively seek moisture in sewer connections. A camera inspection identifies the specific cause so you can address it permanently.
How often should Tempe homeowners clean their drains?
Annual cleaning is recommended for all Tempe homes due to hard water buildup. Homes with mature landscaping near sewer lines or pre-1980 pipe materials may benefit from cleaning every six months.
Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?
Roto-Rooter technicians adjust water pressure based on pipe material and condition. For older galvanized or corroded pipes, lower pressure settings effectively remove scale without damage. A camera inspection before jetting confirms the pipe integrity.
Does monsoon season affect my drains?
Yes. Monsoon rains saturate desert soil rapidly, causing it to expand and shift pipe joints. The sudden moisture also triggers aggressive root growth toward sewer connections. Pre-monsoon drain cleaning helps prevent seasonal problems.
How long does drain cleaning take?
Most residential drain cleaning jobs take 30 to 90 minutes. Main sewer line cleanings with camera inspection typically take one to two hours.
Does Roto-Rooter handle commercial drains in Tempe?
Roto-Rooter provides commercial drain cleaning for restaurants, office buildings, and retail spaces across Tempe. Our commercial equipment handles lines up to 10 inches in diameter with scheduled maintenance programs available.
What is Orangeburg pipe and does my Tempe home have it?
Orangeburg is a tar-impregnated fiber pipe used between the 1940s and 1970s. It has an expected lifespan of about 50 years, and most remaining installations are critically deteriorated. If your home was built or connected to the city sewer during that era, you may have Orangeburg pipe. A camera inspection confirms the pipe material. Call 480-518-9985 to schedule.
How does caliche affect sewer line repair?
Caliche is a calcified soil layer as hard as concrete that makes conventional excavation extremely difficult. Trenchless repair methods avoid the need to dig through caliche, making them faster and significantly less expensive than conventional approaches for most Tempe properties.
Do monsoon storms damage sewer lines?
Monsoon rainfall saturates dry desert soil rapidly, causing sudden swelling against pipe walls that can displace sections and force joints apart. Properties with pre-existing pipe damage are most vulnerable. Repeated monsoon cycles compound the damage over time.
Can trenchless repair handle Tempe's desert soil?
Trenchless pipe lining and pipe bursting are particularly effective in Tempe because they avoid excavating through caliche and disrupting desert landscaping, pavers, and hardscaping. The methods perform well across the range of soil types found beneath Valley properties.
How long does sewer line repair take?
Trenchless lining and spot repairs typically complete in one day. Full Orangeburg replacement may take one to two days. Conventional excavation through caliche can extend timelines significantly, which is why trenchless methods are preferred when applicable.
What are signs of sewer line problems in a Tempe home?
Persistent slow drains, recurring backups, sewage odors near the foundation, unexplained wet spots in dry desert soil, gurgling sounds, and foundation settling all indicate potential sewer line damage.
