Commercial Plumbing Services

In addition to ASU, Maricopa County is home to many offices, restaurants, hotels, car dealerships, schools, health care facilities, and more. Each commercial property has unique plumbing and drainage systems, which vary greatly in scale, usage, and complexity. The bathrooms in ASU’s academic buildings and dorms, for instance, move large volumes of water with powerful flushometers installed on toilets and urinals. The restaurants that line Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe have kitchen drains that handle more water in a day than some homes do in a month. 

At Roto-Rooter, we understand that a commercial plumbing system with a problem can grind a business, restaurant, university, or industrial facility to a standstill, costing you time, money, customers or clients, and productivity. That’s why our Tempe plumbing technicians come equipped with the tools and the knowledge to handle commercial facilities throughout Arizona and across North America. Commercial services we provide include: 

• Same-day plumbing repair 

• Pump repair and replacement 

• Drain cleaning 

• Grease trap repairs and maintenance 

• Gas line maintenance 

• Water heater repair, installation, and maintenance 

• Industrial pipe excavation and restoration 

• Installation of industrial appliances that tap into existing plumbing 

• High-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting) 

• Backflow repair and inspection services

Roto-Rooter’s experienced commercial plumbers in Tempe come equipped with special equipment, state-of-the-art tools, and the experience to handle complex systems that may include hot and chilled water, sprinklers, and potable and non-potable water.

Expert Drain Cleaning in Tempe 

Soap scum, kitchen grease, hair, and other debris can build up in drains over time. This leads to a reduction in water flow, and eventually, the kitchen, laundry, shower, tub, or toilet drain can back up and overflow. With 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week service, our Tempe plumbers will be there when you need us, offering comprehensive drain cleaning solutions for commercial and residential storm drains, sewer mains, toilets, sinks, and tubs, along with roof drains and downspouts. 

No matter the drain issue, our experts will arrive on the job with state-of-the-art tools designed to remove any debris and restore water flow to your business or home. Once we’ve addressed the clog, our Tempe plumbers will effectively clean the drainpipe from end to end. 

Whether you need preventive maintenance or you have a drain cleaning emergency, call us, and an expert will be dispatched to your door to resolve your sewer and drain challenges. 

Sewer Line Services in Tempe 

When you flush a toilet, run a load of clothes or dishes, brush your teeth, or take a shower, all that wastewater flows through a drainpipe to the sewer system. Over time, however, any debris — from fats and grease to hair and lint — can build up in your drainpipes and lead to a clogged sewer line. Additionally, tree roots can weave their way into your sewer pipeline, thriving on the water and nutrients inside. As roots grow, they become a catchall for toilet paper, hair, and anything else that goes down your drain, leading to a pipe blockage. 

When water can’t flow through your sewer line, your toilets, sinks, showers, and other drains may back up, resulting in a flood of contaminated wastewater in your home or commercial property. Not only does sewage pose health hazards to inhabitants, but it can damage the floors, ceilings, furnishings, and drywall. 

At Roto-Rooter, we offer regular sewer line inspections to detect and remove blockages before they cause catastrophic damage. We also clean drainpipes from end to end, ensuring optimal water flow. If you suspect your property’s sewer line has structural issues or a potential break, we can make the repairs that align with your budget and your goals. Depending on the cause of the problem, our experts use both Zero-Dig trenchless technology and conventional sewer excavation techniques to get the job done. 

In the event of a sewer line backup, our experienced Tempe plumbing team provides water cleanup and mold remediation services to your commercial or residential property. We remove damaged components and dry, disinfect, dehumidify, and treat spaces with an antimicrobial agent to guard against mold. 

Water Heater Repairs and Installations

A conventional water heater has an average lifespan of 11 years, while a tankless model may last about two decades. Did you know that water heater issues are among the most common reasons Tempe property owners require a plumber? If you notice any of the following issues with your water heater, it’s time to call a plumber: 

• Low water pressure 

• Discolored hot water 

• Hot water that runs out quickly 

• Leaks around the base 

• A frequently running water heater 

• Strange noises coming from the system 

• Temperature and relief valve leaks 

Any of the above signs could indicate problems that range from failed heating elements and holes in the tank to corroded anode rods and clogged vent pipes. Our experienced plumbing technicians repair all types and brands of water heaters, including gas, electric, conventional, and tankless. 

We can also advise you on upgrading your current water heater if you are just looking for a new, more energy-efficient model that can effectively cover your entire home or business while fitting into your budget.
