Under-Slab Drain Replacement for Tempe Homes
North Tempe's mid-century slab homes often have original cast iron running under the floors. In Maple-Ash, Mitchell Park and Broadmor, under-slab drain replacement is common, especially during bathroom and kitchen remodels. With the floors already coming up, replacing the old line then saves opening a finished floor later.

Under-Slab Drain Replacement in Tempe: Questions
If they are failing, yes. New flooring over a cracked drain means tearing it up later to make the repair. A camera inspection before the flooring project shows the condition. If the pipe is sound, go ahead with the floors. If not, replace it first while the floor is bare.
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 Tempe.
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.
