Tempe homeowners call Liberty for faucet & fixture installation because we're local to the Valley, licensed, and answer the phone 24/7. Tempe is an established East Valley city, mid-century and 1970s-80s homes near ASU with newer infill scattered through. That older housing stock means galvanized and aging-copper repipes, sewer-root work, and plenty of rental-property plumbing. We've done a lot of it. When we look at your place, you'll get the truth about what's failing, your options laid out plain, and a fair price upfront before we start.

Tempe's plumbing reality is defined by age and turnover. The neighborhoods ringing ASU, from the mid-century ranches near downtown to the 1970s and 80s builds in south Tempe, were plumbed with galvanized steel and early copper that's now corroding from the inside out. Galvanized lines clog with rust until pressure drops to a trickle, and we still pull original galvanized out of Tempe homes weekly. Add decades of rental turnover, where deferred maintenance compounds because no owner-occupant catches the slow problems, and you get homes where a single repipe finally resolves years of mystery low-pressure and discolored-water complaints.

What we see on Tempe plumbing

Faucet & Fixture Installation in Tempe, FAQ

My new faucet already drips, why?
Usually grit or scale in the cartridge from our hard water. We flush and reseat it, or replace the cartridge.
Can you install a fixture I bought?
Absolutely. We'll set anything you supply, and we'll flag it if it's not suited to our water.
My faucet drips constantly. Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
Usually a repair, if it's a quality brand. Most drips are a worn cartridge or a scaled aerator, and cartridges for Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Pfister are cheap and often warrantied for life. We only steer you toward a replacement when the faucet is a bargain-grade body where the parts cost more in labor than a new fixture.
Why do my faucets and showerheads keep clogging with white buildup?
That's hard-water scale, calcium and magnesium from Valley water at 16-20 grains per gallon. It builds up in aerators, showerheads, and cartridges. You can soak the removable parts in vinegar to dissolve it, but the long-term fix is a water softener, which keeps the scale from forming in the first place.
The shutoff valve under my sink won't turn. Is that normal?
It's common with older multi-turn stops. They seize up with mineral and corrosion and quit on you right when you need them. We recommend swapping them for quarter-turn ball valves during any faucet job, so the next repair is a quick local shutoff instead of killing water to the whole house.
Can you install a faucet I bought online?
Yes, we install customer-supplied fixtures. One honest caveat: real cheap online faucets often have plastic internals and proprietary parts that are tough to service later, so we'll point that out before we install. A brass-bodied unit from a major brand is the better long-term value.
What's a pressure-balancing shower valve and do I need one?
It's a valve that stops the sudden temperature swing when somebody flushes a toilet or runs water elsewhere, so you don't get scalded or hit with a cold blast. Modern code requires that protection. A step up is a thermostatic valve, which holds your exact set temperature even as household pressure moves around.
My older Tempe home has low water pressure everywhere, what's wrong?
That's the classic signature of galvanized supply lines rusting shut from the inside, common in Tempe's mid-century and 1970s homes. The corrosion narrows the pipe until flow drops at every fixture. A camera and pressure test confirms it, and a repipe to PEX or copper restores full pressure for good.
