Drain Cleaning in Laveen, AZ

Most of Laveen is inside the City of Phoenix, and the City makes property owners responsible for the sewer line on their property up to the City main. A plumber clears clogs in that private section and in the fixtures inside the house. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Laveen.

Signs it is time for drain cleaning

The shower drains slowly no matter how often the stopper is cleaned
The toilet water level climbs before it drains
Gurgling in the tub when the dishwasher pumps out
Water spreads on the floor near the washer standpipe
A sewer smell outside near the cleanout

One fixture means a local clog. Several at once, or water coming up through the tub, means the main line, and it is best to stop using water until the line is open.

Laveen's drains and sewer

Laveen Village is one of the City of Phoenix's urban villages, with farming, dairy and equestrian roots and a deliberately rural feel. Most of its homes are newer: in ZIP 85339, only about 7% were built before 1980, and most were built in 2000 or later. That means plastic drain lines under slabs in most houses, where clogs come from grease, wipes, hair and food rather than failing pipe.

Homes inside Phoenix are on City sewer, and Laveen-area sewer mains flow to the City's 91st Avenue wastewater treatment plant. The City says property owners maintain the water and sewer lines that run through their property to the City mains. For a sewer emergency on the public side, the City of Phoenix takes reports at 602-261-8000. Some parcels in the Laveen area remain unincorporated under Maricopa County, and utilities and permits can differ there, so check your bill if you are not sure.

Drain Cleaning questions in Laveen

Who handles sewage coming up from a public manhole or the street?

For homes inside Phoenix, the City of Phoenix. Report sewer emergencies on the public side at 602-261-8000. Your building sewer up to the City main is your responsibility.

How do I know whether the blockage is in my pipe or in the public sewer?

If one fixture is slow, it is your plumbing. If all drains back up and your line is clear to the property edge, the City main may be the problem. The City says owners maintain the sewer line on their property up to the main.

Can monsoon storms cause drain or sewer trouble?

They can. Heavy rain can wash dirt and gravel into a cleanout with a missing or broken cap, and that debris ends up in the main line. Check the cap before monsoon season.

What does it mean when every drain in the house slows down at once?

The main building sewer is probably partly blocked. Stop using water and have the line cleared from the outdoor cleanout.
