West and central Mesa, around ZIPs 85201 to 85204, has a large stock of homes from the 1950s through the 1980s. Many still have cast iron drains and older supply lines. East Mesa is much newer. We tailor the job to the age of the house, not the ZIP code.

Mesa's older neighborhoods near downtown and in west Mesa were largely built from the 1950s to the 1980s. Cast iron drain lines from that era corrode from the inside and can crack under the slab. Slow drains in several fixtures at once are often the first sign.
East Mesa, from Red Mountain Ranch out to Eastmark, is newer construction. There the work leans toward water heaters, softeners and remodel plumbing. Across the city, hard water is the constant, wearing down heaters, valves and fixtures faster than softer water would.
We know how 1950s to 1980s drain systems fail, and how to replace them.
We inspect before recommending a drain replacement, and show you the footage.
Fix the old drains and build the new bathroom in one project.

If the home was built before about 1980, cast iron is likely. You may see heavy black pipe at a cleanout or in the garage. The surest way is a sewer camera inspection, which shows the pipe material and condition from the inside without opening the floor.
Yes, and that is often the best timing. With the floor and walls open, replacing the old drain lines costs less than coming back later. Renova is a licensed plumber and general contractor, so one team handles the plumbing underneath and the finished bathroom on top.
Sewer and major drain work often needs a permit, and the City of Mesa sets the rules. Check with the city for your specific project. When a permit is required for the plumbing scope, Renova coordinates it and completes the work to code and ready for inspection.
