Central Tempe homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s sit on clay and cast-iron lines that crack when monsoon flows hit the flat lots along University Drive and Rural Road. Our trucks roll out from 1553 W 7th Pl to reach these blocks quickly, clearing grease and root intrusions before backups reach living areas near Mill Avenue.
Dense student housing and older single-family streets around Arizona State University create tight access points and frequent low-flow periods during summer breaks. We use compact jetting equipment to work around parked cars and narrow easements without tearing up the narrow park strips common in this zip code.
Hot desert summers push ground temperatures high enough to soften older pipe joints while winter rains still send sediment into laterals connected to Tempe Town Lake outfalls. Regular hydro jetting on these lines prevents the seasonal backups that hit Central Tempe hardest after the first monsoon storms.

Sewer Cleaning Tempe in Central Tempe — Local Notes
- •Narrow 50-foot lots between 7th Place and 10th Street limit equipment staging, so we stage jetters on the street and run shorter hoses to reach rear cleanouts.
- •Many 1960s ranch homes near Broadway Road and Mill Avenue still have original clay laterals that shift when irrigation ditches leak, requiring camera location before any excavation.
- •ASU event traffic on University Drive forces us to schedule larger jobs before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. to keep trucks from blocking event shuttles.
- •Monsoon sediment loads from the Salt River channel raise the water table briefly each summer, pushing fine sand into low spots on lines running toward Papago Park.
