Hydro Jetting in Laveen, AZ

In Laveen, hydro jetting is a high-pressure water cleaning of a home's main drain or sewer line that removes grease, sludge and roots rather than just opening a hole through them. It's the usual next step when a line clogs again after snaking. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Laveen.

Laveen's sewer and housing

Laveen Village is part of the City of Phoenix, so most homes here are on Phoenix sewer, with Laveen-area mains flowing to the City's 91st Avenue wastewater treatment plant. The City states that Phoenix property owners are responsible for the water and sewer lines on their property up to the connection with the City's mains. For a sewer emergency in the public system, the City's line is 602-261-8000. Some parcels in the area remain unincorporated county islands and may be served differently, so confirm your provider on your bill if you're near the edges.

Laveen has a farming, dairy and equestrian past, but most of its housing went up after 2000; only about 7 percent of homes in ZIP 85339 were built before 1980. That means plastic drain pipe in most houses, where clogs come from kitchen grease, wipes, hair and sludge rather than corroded pipe. Lots that keep a rural feel, with larger yards and big trees, can also have longer laterals and roots near the line. Jetting cleans the whole pipe wall so buildup doesn't just reform around a narrow channel.

Cost factors

Where the plumber can reach the line, usually an outdoor cleanout
Length of the lateral between the house and the City main

Camera inspection before or after
After-hours or weekend timing

If the camera shows pipe that has to be replaced, homes inside Phoenix city limits get plumbing permits from the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department.

What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who works in Laveen. Say which drains are affected, when it started and whether the line has been cleaned before. Until the plumber arrives, keep water use to a minimum and keep kids and pets clear of any overflow. Skip store-bought drain chemicals; they won't reach a main-line clog and make the plumber's work more hazardous.

Hydro Jetting questions in Laveen

Who do I call first when sewage backs up, the sewer provider or a plumber?

If neighbors are backing up too, call the City of Phoenix at 602-261-8000. If it's only your house, the private line is the likely problem and a plumber comes first.

Do newer homes with plastic drain pipe ever need jetting?

Yes. Most Laveen homes were built after 2000 with plastic pipe, and grease and wipes still cause main-line clogs that jetting clears.

Will tree roots grow back into the sewer line after jetting?

They can if the entry point isn't repaired. On larger Laveen lots with mature trees, a camera check after jetting shows where roots got in.

What can I do to keep a jetted line from clogging again?

Keep grease, wipes and food scraps out of the drains and use strainers in sinks and tubs.
