Tempe homeowners call Liberty for irrigation repair 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.

How a Tempe irrigation repair call goes

  1. Diagnose the Zone

    We test the controller, valves, and lines zone by zone to separate a controller or wiring issue from a real plumbing leak, so you only pay to fix what's actually broken.

  2. Repair Lines & Valves

    We replace failed diaphragm or solenoid valves, splice or re-run cracked poly and PVC lateral lines, and rebuild or replace drip manifolds and emitters that have clogged with hard-water scale.

  3. Backflow & Pressure Check

    We test and service the irrigation backflow preventer, set the system pressure so emitters and heads run correctly, and confirm every zone starts, runs, and shuts off clean.

Irrigation Repair in Tempe, FAQ

Why is my water bill so high in summer?
On most Valley properties, irrigation is the top water user, and a single cracked line or a stuck-open valve can waste hundreds of gallons a day underground where you never see it. We find and fix the leak so your bill drops back to normal.
Do you fix drip systems or just sprinklers?
Both. Drip systems are ideal for desert landscaping, but the emitters and tubing clog with our hard water and crack from the UV. We clean or replace manifolds, emitters, and tubing, and we can re-zone a system that's outgrown its layout.
Is my irrigation backflow preventer required?
Yes. Arizona requires a working backflow preventer on irrigation systems to keep fertilizer and standing water from siphoning back into your drinking water, and a lot of municipalities require annual testing.
Can a small irrigation leak really cost that much?
Yes. An underground line leak or a valve stuck partly open runs nonstop, and it's often nobody notices because the water never comes to the surface. Over a billing cycle that can add up to thousands of gallons.
Should I switch from sprinklers to drip?
For desert and native landscaping, drip is far more efficient. It puts the water right at the root and loses almost nothing to evaporation. If you're re-landscaping toward xeriscape, converting usually pays for itself in water savings.
How often should my irrigation backflow be tested?
Many Arizona municipalities require annual certified testing on irrigation backflow assemblies. We can test yours on schedule, document the results for the water provider, and service it before winter.
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.
My sewer keeps backing up every year, is it roots?
Almost certainly. Tempe's mature trees near older clay sewer laterals send roots into the joints, and they grow right back after every snaking. We camera the line to find where they're getting in and recommend a real fix, a spot repair or a liner, instead of paying to clear the same blockage every spring.
