Under-Slab Drain Replacement for Scottsdale Homes
South Scottsdale's 1950s and 1960s homes sit on slabs with some of the oldest drain lines in the East Valley. Under-slab replacement there is often planned into a renovation. North of Old Town, in McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch, under-slab repairs are more often single sections in 1970s and 1980s homes.

Under-Slab Drain Replacement in Scottsdale: Questions
Yes, and it should be. Replacing drains while floors are already open saves cost and disruption. We coordinate the timing with your GC, or with our own remodel team, so the drain work happens before the new floors go down. Every section is tested before the slab is patched.
Timing depends on the job, not the city. As a guide, camera inspection and locating takes about an hour, and single-section repair takes often a few days. Every job is scoped upfront, so you know the timeline before work starts, and we set a visit time that works for you in Scottsdale.
Sometimes a section of slab has to be opened, but we locate the damage first so the opening is only as large as the repair needs. In some homes, tunneling from outside or rerouting the line avoids interior floors altogether. We walk you through the options before anything is cut.
