If you notice a gurgling sound post the discharge of water from your drain, this indicates that there is air caught below the partial clog, and your drain cleaning Tempe, Arizona is required immediately.
Multiple Backups at Once
When your toilet makes a gurgling sound at the same time as the shower backups and kitchen sink drains slowly, then it is an indication that there is a main line clog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drain cleaning in Tempe, answered
Why do Tempe homes and rentals get so many clogs?
Tempe's hard water leaves mineral scale that slowly narrows pipes, and in the older rentals near ASU and Mill Avenue, years of grease, hair and soap buildup block lines faster than newer plumbing. Regular cleaning keeps them clear.
What parts of Tempe do you serve?
We cover North Tempe, South Tempe, Maple Ash, Escalante, Warner Ranch, The Lakes and Dava, plus the neighborhoods around ASU and the Mill Avenue district, across the 85281, 85282, 85283 and 85284 ZIP codes.
Who can fix a clogged drain in Tempe today?
Arizona Drain Experts sends a licensed drain technician across Tempe the same day, including evenings and weekends. Call (602) 587-0191 and tell us what you see: one slow sink, several drains backing up at once, or water coming up in a tub or floor drain. A single fixture is usually cleared with a drain cable. Several drains at once points to a main line clog, which we clear and can check with a camera before we leave.
Do you handle grease traps for Tempe restaurants?
Yes. Many Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe restaurants rely on us for grease trap cleaning and high pressure hydro jetting to keep kitchen drains flowing and stay compliant.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Tempe?
It depends on which fixture is affected, how far the clog sits in the line and whether a camera inspection is needed. We always give a free, upfront quote before any work starts.

How Arizona's Seasons Affect Drain Cleaning in Tempe, AZ
Tempe has distinct seasons of the year and our team plans accordingly to know how each will affect the drainage in the community.
⚡ Summer Monsoon Season
Sudden rains during this time result in soil, leaves, and debris clogging up yard drains and storm drains in areas such as Papago Park and Kiwanis Park very quickly.
☀️ Summer Heat
The extreme heat of summer causes plumbing joints and connections to expand and contract constantly, leading to connections becoming loose due to the constant changes in the temperature, particularly in older rental properties
🍂 Fall
Leaves and debris from landscaping pile up very quickly around outdoor drains in older Tempe neighborhoods such as Maple Ash and Escalante.
❄️ Winter
Despite freezing winters being rare in Tempe, the cooler weather slows down the drainage because of the build-up of grease in pipes hardening.
Sewer Cleaning, Repair, or Descaling: Which One You Need
Not sure which applies? The free camera pass answers it before you spend anything.
Hydro Jetting in Tempe
Hydro jetting scours the full inside of a pipe with high pressure water, clearing grease and scale that a standard snake only punches through.
Rental Kitchens
Grease from Tempe rental kitchens near ASU builds up fast. Jetting restores full flow and cuts down mid lease emergency calls.
Older Homes
Homes in Maple Ash and Escalante carry decades of scale. Jetting clears the whole line, not just the clog.
Camera Checked
We camera the line first to confirm it can handle the pressure, since very old pipe may need repair instead.
