What Customers Say
South Scottsdale, around ZIPs 85257 and 85251, is full of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. Many are being remodeled now, and the plumbing under them is original. Further north the homes are newer, and the work shifts toward water heaters, softeners and bathroom upgrades.

Plumbing in Scottsdale Homes
South Scottsdale's mid-century ranch homes are some of the oldest in the East Valley. Original cast iron drains, older supply lines and aging main sewer lines are common. Owners who renovate these homes are usually opening walls and floors anyway, which makes it the right time to check.
North of Old Town, McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch date mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. Homes further north are newer still. There, most calls are for water heaters, tankless upgrades, softeners and bathroom remodels.

Scottsdale Plumbing Questions
Start with the drains and the main sewer line, then the water supply. Homes from that era often have original cast iron and older supply pipe. A sewer camera inspection before demolition tells you what needs replacing, so it can be planned into the budget instead of found halfway through.
Yes. We regularly work as the plumbing partner on larger renovations, coordinating the schedule with your GC and keeping the plumbing scope clean. If you don't have a GC, Renova is also a licensed general contractor and can handle the bathroom from start to finish.
Sewer replacement and remodel plumbing often need permits, and the City of Scottsdale sets the requirements. Check with the city for your project. When a permit is required for the plumbing scope, Renova coordinates it and completes the work to code and ready for inspection.
