Goodyear doesn't have a single utility for every address: Liberty Utilities provides wastewater service to portions of the city, and the City of Goodyear serves much of the rest. Whoever runs the main, the drain line from your house is repaired by a plumber. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Goodyear.
When you make the call
You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Goodyear. Be ready to say which fixtures are backing up, whether it happened suddenly or built up over weeks, and whether the line has been cleared before. On site, the plumber usually opens the line through a cleanout to restore flow, then feeds a camera down the pipe. The footage shows what's causing the trouble and where, and a locator on the camera head lets the plumber mark the spot and depth on the ground. Only then does the talk turn to repair methods.
Cost factors
- Distance from the foundation to the damage, and depth of the pipe
- Pool decks, block walls, pavers or concrete driveways in the way
- Cleaning, a spot repair, lining or a replaced section
- Whether a cleanout exists where the plumber needs it
- Permit and inspection through the City of Goodyear Community Development Department
- Restoring rock landscaping, turf or drip irrigation afterward
Goodyear's utilities and housing
The city states there's more than one water provider in Goodyear. Liberty Utilities, through its Liberty Litchfield Park system, provides water and wastewater to portions of Goodyear, and the City of Goodyear Water Services Department serves much of the rest. If you aren't sure which utility serves your address, the city's line, 623-882-7887, can confirm it. That matters mostly when the trouble is in the public main, because the utility handles that side.
Goodyear's housing is mostly recent. Census-based figures put the median home at about 2007, so most building sewers are plastic. Problems on newer lines usually trace back to construction rather than age: a belly where trench soil settled, a joint separated when a pool or patio went in, or roots from landscape trees finding a small gap. Homes in older parts of the city can still have other materials, which a camera inspection will reveal.
Checklist before the plumber arrives
- Stop using water, including the washer and dishwasher
- Find the outdoor cleanout and clear gravel or plants from around it
- Move vehicles if the line may run under the driveway
- Keep pets indoors and away from the work area
- Have your utility bill handy in case the provider question comes up
