In Tolleson, a repipe replaces the supply lines inside a home that keeps leaking or has lost flow to corrosion. The City of Tolleson provides the water and sewer, but everything inside the house is the owner's to maintain. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Tolleson.
Tolleson in brief
Tolleson is a small West Valley city, and the City of Tolleson both provides and bills water and sewer service. Its supply combines city groundwater wells, treated with electro-dialysis reversal, and finished water bought from the City of Phoenix through two connections. The city's 2022 water report listed total hardness of 92 to 200 ppm in its distribution system, which is moderate for the Valley but still enough to leave some scale at valves over time.
The city keeps a service line materials inventory that can be viewed through the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality's lead and copper page. That covers the buried line to each property. No citywide housing-age figure was found, so the build year of your own home is the best guide to what pipe is inside.
What to do now
- If a pipe is leaking, close the main shutoff and drain the lines through a low faucet.
- Look at the pipe at the water heater and under sinks. Gray threaded steel, copper and plastic each point to different problems.
- With everything off, check whether the meter is still turning.
- Write down each leak or repair you know of, with dates.
- Look up your home's service line on the inventory if the house is older, so you know whether the buried line needs attention too.
- Call for an assessment before another patch.
Symptoms and likely causes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Weak, rusty flow from every tap | Galvanized steel corroding inside |
| Pinholes in more than one copper run | Copper worn thin with age |
| Wet spot in the yard between meter and house | A leak on the owner's service line |
| Sudden leak at one fixture connection | A failed supply hose or valve, not the pipe |
| Warm floor and a meter that won't stop | A hot line leaking under the slab |
Cost factors
- How much of the system is replaced
- Number of fixtures and bathrooms
- Attic or wall routing in a slab home
- Replacing the yard line from the meter at the same time
- Patching and finish work
- Permits through City of Tolleson Development Services, which requires permits for remodeling and improvements and offers online permitting through Civic Access
