Tempe plumbing & drain service
Plumber near you in Tempe, AZ
Searching for a "plumber near me" in Tempe? Clogged drains, leaking fixtures or a water heater problem in Tempe? City Plumbing and Rooter AZ LLC serves homes, rental properties and businesses with plumbing and drain services.
We serve Tempe from our San Tan Valley service area, 24/7 — and Tempe runs on rentals as much as on homeowners. Arizona State University's main campus anchors the north side of the city, and the apartments, student rentals and older homes around it keep plumbing on a semester schedule as much as a household one. A backup in a rental near campus with tenants waiting, a shared drain line slowing down a whole apartment building, a mid-century home near Downtown with a leak under the slab — tell us what's happening at your property and a real plumber will walk through the next step with you.

The right help for the problem
Plumbing services in Tempe
From a single troublesome fixture to a main-line backup, tell us what you are seeing. Tempe's housing splits by era and by owner: mid-century homes in Maple-Ash, Mitchell Park and University Park near Downtown and the university, many of them rentals now and some still on aging original lines; established 1960s–70s ranch neighborhoods like Tempe Gardens and Shalimar through the middle of the city; and the newer, larger subdivisions of South Tempe — The Lakes, Warner Ranch — where the plumbing is younger but the water is just as hard. Apartment and condo buildings add their own layer: shared drain lines and building shutoffs that make one unit's problem a building conversation. We can discuss the service your property needs.
01 / Plumbing services — Drain cleaning
Slow tub, shower or kitchen sink? Tell us which fixtures are backing up so we can assess the blockage and discuss a suitable clearing method. In Tempe's older homes, mineral scale from hard water and years of buildup narrow lines that are already old; in apartments and rentals near campus, a backup can run through a shared line, so say whether neighboring units are affected when you call.
02 / Plumbing services — Leak detection & repair
Unexplained water use, damp spots or a leaking pipe call for a careful inspection. Most Tempe homes sit on a concrete slab with water lines running underneath it, so a leak can run hidden until it shows as a warm spot on the floor or a water bill that jumps for no reason. We help locate the source — under the slab, in a wall or out in the yard line — and explain repair options before anything gets opened up.

03 / Plumbing services — Water heaters
No hot water or a leaking tank? Tempe's water runs hard, and that mineral load settles into tanks as sediment and builds scale inside tankless units, so heaters here work harder and wear out sooner. In a rental, a dead water heater can't wait out the week — tell us whether the property is tenant-occupied when you call. Ask about water heater diagnosis, repair, replacement and tankless maintenance, and have the model, approximate age and any error code ready.
04 / Plumbing services — Sewer lines & inspections
Recurring main-line backups may need more than another clearing. Ask about camera inspection and repair or replacement options. In Tempe's established neighborhoods, mature desert landscaping — oleanders, mesquite, citrus — sends roots toward the joints of aging sewer lines, and the area's clay soils shift lines as they swell and shrink with the seasons. What the camera finds decides whether clearing, a targeted repair or replacement is the right next step.

05 / Plumbing services — Hydro jetting
Ask whether jetting is appropriate for grease or buildup in your drain line — including the mineral scale Tempe's hard water leaves inside older pipes. The right approach depends on pipe condition and access: in a pre-1970s line that may still be galvanized or cast iron, the condition has to be judged before pressure goes into the pipe.
06 / Plumbing services — Everyday plumbing repairs
Get help with leaking faucets, running toilets, disposals and shower valves, or discuss installing replacement fixtures. If you're a tenant, tell us when you call — and whether your landlord or property manager has authorized the work, or needs to. If you're the owner or manager, tell us who can meet the technician and approve repairs on site. That one detail, settled up front, is what keeps a small repair from stalling.
Need an emergency plumber in Tempe?
A burst pipe, a sewer backing up into the house, or a water heater that quits at night doesn't wait for business hours — and neither do we. City Plumbing and Rooter AZ is on call around the clock in Tempe, every day of the year. Call 928-361-9755 and we'll help you shut things down safely and get a plumber headed your way.
Your service area
A clear service request for a Tempe rental or business
Tempe sits in Maricopa County, and we serve the surrounding communities listed below.
If you are a tenant, coordinate repair authorization with your landlord or property manager. For an owner or business, identify who can meet the technician and approve the proposed work. Mention shared walls, restricted access or building water shutoffs so those details can be discussed before the appointment — in Tempe's apartment and condo buildings, a repair in one unit can depend on a shutoff that affects several, and that has to be arranged, not discovered.
We serve Tempe from our San Tan Valley service area — Maple-Ash, Mitchell Park, University Park and Riverside around Downtown, Mill Avenue and the ASU campus; Tempe Gardens, Shalimar and Broadmor through central Tempe; and The Lakes, Warner Ranch and the rest of South Tempe — in ZIP codes 85281, 85282, 85283 and 85284.

Service is provided at your property. This is a service-area page, not a separate walk-in office. Call to confirm availability for your address.
Before your appointment
A clear starting point.
- Share what you noticed. Tell us when the problem started and whether multiple fixtures are affected.
- Discuss the service visit. Ask about appointment availability, access needs and any service or diagnostic charges.
- Review the next step. Ask the technician to explain the findings, proposed work and pricing before authorizing repairs.
Planning your service
Multiple fixtures affected? Tell us which ones.
A kitchen sink problem and a backup affecting several fixtures may call for different assessments. Describe what drains slowly, where water backs up and whether nearby fixtures are affected — in a house, that pattern separates a single clogged drain from a main line that needs a camera; in an apartment or condo, it can point to the shared line your unit has in common with your neighbors. Avoid assuming that every clog has the same cause: the fixtures involved are the first clue, and they're free to report.
Helpful answers
Tempe plumbing FAQs
Q: Can a tenant request plumbing service?
A: You can call about the problem, but clarify repair authorization and payment responsibility with the owner or manager before booking work. If you're the tenant, tell us who manages the property when you call; if you're the owner or manager, tell us who can meet the technician and approve the repair — that keeps the visit from stalling at the door.
Q: Can you help a Tempe business with a drain problem?
A: Yes. We provide commercial plumbing services. Describe the business, the affected fixtures and your access hours so the team can confirm the service scope and schedule — a restaurant kitchen line, a retail restroom and an office break room each need a different conversation.
Q: What if water is backing up in more than one fixture?
A: Call and explain which fixtures are affected and when the backup occurs. Multiple affected fixtures can require assessment of a shared drain or main line — in a single-family home that usually means the main line; in an apartment or condo it can mean the building's shared line, which is worth knowing before anyone starts clearing drains one at a time.
Q: I already have a quote from another company. Can you give me a second opinion?
A: Yes — second opinions on plumbing repair quotes are free. A working plumber looks at the problem and gives you a straight answer on the work and the price. If you don't need the work, we will say so.
Q: There's a warm spot on my floor and my water bill jumped. What does that usually mean in Tempe?
A: That combination is the classic sign of a slab leak — a water line leaking under the concrete slab most Tempe homes are built on. Call and describe what you're seeing. Leak detection comes before anything is opened up, so the repair targets the actual leak instead of turning into guesswork.
