The Plumbers Ahwatukee Trusts

The Ahwatukee Foothills stands as one of the Valley’s premier master-planned communities. Since the main bulk of this beautiful desert pocket sprang up in the 80s and 90s, which actually means they’re reaching a critical plumbing milestone. The Bumble Bee crew has actually been getting more calls from the Ahwatukee area due to the classic signs of aging plumbing: corroding galvanized or polybutylene piping, water heaters on their last legs, and sewer lines that are now 30 to 40 years old. Add to that some notorious environmental factors (hard water, shifting soil, etc.), and plumbing here’s in real danger.

At Bumble Bee Home Services, we’ve been proudly serving the Phoenix area since 2011. As a fully licensed and insured team holding ROC #277858, #277859, and #357153, our commitment to thousands of families has earned us an A+ BBB rating, and a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave.

Leak Detection

A lot of Ahwatukee homeowners actually don’t know they have leaks in their homes until they get the biggest Phoenix water bill they’ve seen since moving in. That points to a hidden leak. Likewise, slab leaks are a huge problem here, since the shifting soil cracks the slab and supply lines running though it. Bumble Bee uses electronic and acoustic detection equipment to find hidden leaks in walls, under slabs, and underground. And don’t worry, we can do all this without tearing up your floors or walls.

Drain Cleaning

You need your drain cleaned. Why? Aside from building up years of food debris, grease buildup, and mineral scale, it’s really only a matter of time before you’re dealing with clogs. This is when those store-bought chemicals might tempt you; don’t let them! They’re temporary fixes, and the real answer is hydro jetting, where high-pressure water blasts through your pipe and essentially ‘factory resets’ the insides. 

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Most of Ahwatukee’s sewer lines were put in place way back in the 1980s, which means they’re living on borrowed time by now. That is why sewer line repair and replacement in Ahwatukee AZ, is what keeps everything flowing.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Phoenix’s water is notoriously hard, known officially as “Very Hard” to “Extremely Hard” (measured at 13 to 18.5 grains per gallon). Aside from being unpleasant to wash with, it punishes appliances like your water heater. All those minerals build up inside your unit and make your water heater work much harder than normal.

Does hard water damage plumbing in Ahwatukee?
