Paradise Valley has two sewer providers, the City of Phoenix and a Town system operated by the City of Scottsdale, and many properties aren't on municipal sewer at all. Whatever the setup, the drain line on your property is repaired by a plumber. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Paradise Valley.
When you call
You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who works in Paradise Valley. Start by telling them whether the home is on public sewer and which provider, if you know, along with which fixtures are affected and how long it's been going on. On a property that's connected to sewer, the plumber usually clears the line through a cleanout and runs a camera to the main. On a property that isn't, the camera goes from the house toward the onsite system. Either way, the footage shows what's wrong and where before any digging is planned.
Cost factors
- Length of the line, which can be long on a large lot
- Depth and the ground it passes through, including rock near the mountains
- Driveways, courtyards, pools and mature landscaping above it
- Whether lining is possible or a section has to be replaced
- Permit and inspection through the Town's Community Development Department
Paradise Valley conditions
Paradise Valley is a small, mostly residential town, incorporated in 1961, where most land is zoned for single-family homes on lots of an acre or more. That lot size is a big reason the sewer situation varies. The Town lists two sewer providers, City of Phoenix Water Services and a Town-owned system that the City of Scottsdale operates and maintains, with a boundary map on its Sewer page. The Scottsdale-operated Town system takes calls at 480-312-5650. Many properties have no municipal sewer and use private onsite wastewater systems, which Maricopa County oversees.
On a large lot, the building sewer can run a long way before it reaches the street, and longer runs have more joints where roots can enter and more places where the pipe can settle. Mature trees and irrigated landscaping add to root pressure. Plumbing permits are issued by the Town of Paradise Valley Community Development Department, Building division, through its online Citizen Portal; the office is at 6401 E Lincoln Drive and stops taking submittals and payments at 3:30 p.m.
Before the plumber arrives
- Stop running water in the house and shut off any automatic irrigation near the line
- Find the cleanout, plus the onsite system lid if your home has one
- Open gates and let staff or a property manager know someone is coming
- Note whether the trouble began after landscaping, pool or construction work
