Plumber Serving West Phoenix, AZ

Plumbing in West Phoenix

West Phoenix, broadly the Phoenix neighborhoods west of the I-17 corridor and east of Tolleson's city limits, encompasses the 85031, 85033, 85035, and 85037 zip codes. This area was developed primarily in the 1960s through the 1980s, with residential properties that are now 40 to 60 years old. The same hard water supply from City of Phoenix Water Services at 16 to 19 grains per gallon serves West Phoenix as serves Tolleson immediately to the west, and the same caliche hardpan soil profile is consistent throughout this part of the Valley.

West Phoenix Housing and Pipe Conditions

West Phoenix's 1960s through 1980s residential construction includes a mix of copper supply lines (now well into the age range where hard water corrosion and caliche soil stress produce slab leaks), early ABS and cast-iron drain systems, and water heaters that have turned over at least once or twice in their hard-water-shortened service cycles. Galvanized supply lines are less common in West Phoenix than in Original Tolleson's oldest housing, but they do exist in the oldest properties near the city's western edge.

Supply Line and Water Heater Service Needs

Copper supply lines from the 1960s and 1970s in West Phoenix are now 45 to 60 years old. At Tolleson's and West Phoenix's water hardness levels, copper pipe walls thin over this time period from interior hard water corrosion. Combined with caliche soil movement stressing under-slab sections, West Phoenix properties from this construction era show slab leak rates similar to what we address throughout Tolleson's older residential neighborhoods. Water heater scale accumulation from hard water shortens service life to 6 to 8 years in West Phoenix homes just as it does in Tolleson, and drain blockage from mineral scale in aging drain pipes is a recurring maintenance pattern throughout this area.
