Looking for a Pipe Repair Company Serving Tempe Arizona?
We Are Tempe's Pipelining Experts, Call Us Today!
Tempe is one of the oldest and most built-out cities in the Valley, incorporated in 1894, and its plumbing infrastructure shows it. Across ZIP codes 85281, 85282, 85283, and 85284, thousands of homes date to the 1950s through the 1970s and still rely on original clay, cast iron, or even Orangeburg (bituminized-fiber) sewer laterals. Clay joints separate and invite root intrusion, cast iron corrodes and scales, and Orangeburg pipe delaminates and collapses. Pipeliners specializes in rebuilding these lines from the inside, with no trenching through Tempe’s caliche-hardened soil required.
No Demolition Solution
No trenching across your Tempe yard, driveway, or slab foundation. We restore pipes in place, so mature landscaping and hardscape stay untouched.
Up To 30% Cost Savings
Tempe homeowners typically save up to 30% versus dig-and-replace, with no costly concrete, sod, or hardscape restoration afterward.
Eco-friendly Repairs
We restore your Tempe clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes from within, reducing waste and property disruption.
Minimal Interruption
Your Tempe home, ASU-area rental, or Mill Avenue business stays open and livable while our crews work underground.

Trenchless Pipe Lining in Tempe
Pipe lining gives Tempe property owners a trenchless, no-dig way to rebuild cracked, leaking, or root-invaded sewer lines without tearing open a yard, driveway, or slab. It is especially well suited to Tempe’s older neighborhoods: homes around Maple-Ashland, Mitchell Park, University Park, and central Tempe built in the 1950s through 1970s often run on aging clay or cast iron laterals that crack and separate over time. We insert an epoxy-saturated liner into the existing pipe, then cure it in place with UV LED technology, forming a seamless new pipe inside the old one. The result is a fully restored line, without jackhammering the caliche-hardened soil that makes conventional excavation so slow and expensive in the Valley, that can last for decades.
Why Tempe Chooses Pipe Lining
Built for Tempe's built-out lots
In a fully developed city like Tempe, where homes sit close together and landscaping, pool decks, and mature trees fill most yards, digging up a sewer line means destroying the surface you paid to install. Pipe lining rehabilitates the pipe from the inside through one or two small access points instead of an open trench. Once the epoxy liner cures, you get a jointless pipe with a 50-year design life, improved flow, and lasting protection against the root intrusion common under Tempe’s established elm, ash, and mesquite trees.
Hydro jetting in Tempe
Roots are the recurring theme in a city this old and this planted. Tempe’s established elm, ash and mesquite send fine roots toward any joint that weeps, and once they are inside the run they thicken and catch everything that passes. Jetting cuts that growth out at pressure and scours the pipe wall along the whole length, which is a different outcome from a cable that bores a hole through the mass and leaves the rest anchored where it grew. On a sound line that is the entire repair. Where the camera afterwards shows the joint the roots came in through, the jetting has revealed the cause rather than fixed it, and lining that joint is what stops it returning.
ePIPE Water Line Solutions for Tempe Homes
Repipe the house, or restore the copper you already have?
In Tempe that question comes up constantly, because so much of the housing stock is 1950s-70s and running copper that hard Valley water has been working on for decades. The tell is usually pressure rather than leaks. Flow that has quietly dropped off across the house says more about the condition of the whole system than any single patched leak does.
A whole-house repipe replaces all of it, which means opening walls and ceilings. ePIPE restores the system from the inside instead, with nothing opened up.
On the slab-foundation homes across South Tempe, in The Lakes, Warner Ranch and Cyprus Southwest, the choice is worth getting right the first time, because reaching a slab line twice costs far more than assessing it once.
The process cleans the inside of the existing water piping, then applies a non-toxic epoxy barrier coating rated for potable water, sealing it against the corrosion and scale Tempe’s hard water leaves behind. Because the work happens inside the pipe, no walls, floors, or ceilings are opened: no drywall demolition in an ASU-area rental, an older central-Tempe home, or a Mill Avenue commercial space.
On a rental that is the difference between a repair a tenant can live through and one that empties the unit. Crews are also available 24/7 for the cases where a line fails outright rather than seeping.
Trenchless Services Matched to Tempe's Housing
- Ideal for older central-Tempe homes: Neighborhoods like Maple-Ashland, Mitchell Park, University Park, and Tempe Gardens are full of mid-century homes with corroding copper. Our epoxy barrier coating restores water quality and stops pinhole leaks driven by Tempe's hard water, without opening walls.
- Minimal disruption for rentals: With ASU nearby, much of Tempe is rental and student housing. ePIPE keeps units habitable and turns repairs around fast, so landlords avoid lost rent.
- Built for built-out lots: In South Tempe communities like The Lakes, Warner Ranch, and Cyprus Southwest, and along the older grid near Mill Avenue and downtown, CIPP renews sewer lines without tearing up pools, pavers, or mature landscaping.
- Ready for monsoon season: Summer storms overload cracked, root-filled lines. A cured-in-place liner seals out roots and groundwater for a durable, decades-long repair.

Expert Plumbing Services Serving Tempe, AZ Residents and Businesses
Which Tempe neighborhoods and pipe types do you work on most?
We work throughout Tempe, from the 1950s-70s homes around Maple-Ashland, Mitchell Park, and University Park to South Tempe communities like The Lakes and Warner Ranch. Most calls involve clay or cast iron sewer laterals and corroded copper water lines, plus Orangeburg pipe in some mid-century homes. All are strong candidates for trenchless lining or ePIPE coating.
Why is trenchless pipe repair a good fit for Tempe properties?
Tempe is fully built out, with tight lots, mature landscaping, pools, and caliche-hardened soil that makes digging slow and expensive. Trenchless lining rebuilds your pipe from the inside through one or two small access points, so we avoid tearing up yards, driveways, and slab foundations while still delivering a decades-long repair.
Does Tempe's hard water really damage my pipes?
Yes. The Valley’s hard, mineral-heavy water scales the inside of pipes and corrodes copper over time, which is why pinhole and slab leaks are so common in older Tempe homes. Our NSF/ANSI 61-certified ePIPE barrier coating seals the interior of your copper lines to stop that corrosion and prevent repeat leaks.
Repiping in Tempe: how do I know if my copper can be restored instead?
The deciding factor is how much sound wall the pipe has left, not the age of the house. Plenty of 1960s Tempe copper is still restorable and some newer systems are not, so the condition has to be established before either option is chosen.
Where it matters most here is rental property. A full repipe means opening walls and taking the unit out of service; restoring the line internally does not. If you own an ASU-area rental that difference is usually measured in weeks of rent, so it is worth getting the assessment before committing to either. There are also recognisable signs that a system has passed the point of restoration.
How long does a trenchless job take, and will my home stay usable?
Most residential ePIPE and CIPP projects in Tempe are completed in a day or two, and your home usually stays livable throughout. That matters for owner-occupied homes and especially for ASU-area rentals, where minimizing tenant downtime protects your rental income.
Do I need a permit for sewer or water line work in Tempe?
Most sewer and water line repairs require a plumbing permit from the City of Tempe. Pipeliners pulls the necessary permits and coordinates inspections as part of the job, so your trenchless repair is completed to code.
How do you diagnose the problem before starting?
Every Tempe project begins with a sewer camera inspection. We locate the exact cracks, root intrusions, offsets, or collapsed sections in your line and show you the footage, so you know precisely what needs repair before any work starts. No guesswork and no unnecessary upselling.
What warranties do you offer in Tempe?
We stand behind our trenchless work with strong, long-term warranties covering both ePIPE water-line lining and structural CIPP sewer repairs. Contact our Tempe team and we will confirm the exact warranty terms that apply to your project.
