Top Rated Plumbers in Tucson
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling
5141 N Casa Grande Hwy, Tucson, AZ 85743, USA
(520) 333-2121Under the antique heater, in the garage, under the house foundation with post tension cables sewer repair is never a diagnosis you want to hear. Cummings knocked it out of the park. Five days, in and out. From extraction of old hvac, Penhall survey of post tension cables, coring the foundation, the dig, the repair, the backfill, recementing of the foundation, and installation of new hvac system. Faster than I expected, excellent work, and the clean up was impeccable.
2 weeks agoMy second experience with this company sucked. A simple clog turned into a repipe sale and wound up contaminating the property with feces, toilet paper, and sewer water. The technician, Kyri Markos didn't do anything to address my problem except to do an inspection and show me other problems under the house. He was more interested in selling me a repipe job rather than doing anything about the original problem, saying the clog was the responsibility of the to park. He did call the park office and tell them of the clog I called Cummings about originally. Rather than negotiating with the park to do the job at their experience, he postponed the unclog to the next day when the repipe job was to be done. In the mean time the waste from houses sharing the sewer line uphill from my house drained into into my yard when he left the access hole uncapped. Gratefully, the park office reacted to the situation and sent another plumber who snaked out the clogged pipe and cleared the clog. The next morning a park staff worker came and did a great job cleaning up the aftermath of the sewage spill.
1 month agoWhat a great company representative! Showed up on time, polite, thorough, a very good communicator that had a solid technical background. Matt came out to put together ideas for HVAC upgrades to our home. I had a career in the construction world and Matt does a great job listening and presenting options that are easily understood. My wife and I were very impressed and we felt very comfortable in our conversations with Matt.
4 weeks agoCode Blue Plumbing
3448 N 1st Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719, USA
(520) 297-9949I am a Real Estate Broker in rural area of Cochise County, during home inspection for a home sale it was discovered that sewer lines were old, failing and filled with tree roots. One local plumber was going to charge thousand and thousand of dollars to tear up yard, foundation and alley. I called Code Blue Plumbing they were quick to answer, quick to get a quote and quick to get the job scheduled as we were closing in two weeks. The day of the job the two technicians that came out were Stockton and Diego. They called when on their way, showed up on time, got right to work. What might have been a two day job they were able to get done in just one day, their work was amazing, they removed tons of tree roots, installed sewer sleeve so they did not have to tear up foundation. By the time they finished the clean up was so good you didn't even know they were there, it was perfect. Thank you so much, I will be recommending not only the company but the technicians.
1 month agoWe noticed the floor near our clothes washer was wet and after some testing, discovered the drain pipe where the washer drains was clogged. Tried to use our snake and some chemicals to unblock the drain but weren't successful. I called Code Blue and the next morning Abel showed up as promised. He provided a fixed price ahead of time and used two different snakes to clear the blockage. I will not hesitate to call Code Blue again should the need arise, hopefully it won't!
2 months agoCode Blue was hired in August 2024 to perform a sewer inspection at the property I was in escrow to purchase. The property has a main house and an adjoining guest house. For reasons unknown they scoped the main line but not the sewer line from the guest house to the main. In their report they state that there were no above ground clean outs. If they would have looked at the guest house they would have practically tripped over the clean out. Being an out-of-town buyer I relied on Code Blue to do a thorough, professional job. My house is now in escrow to sell and the company that came out to do the sewer inspection actually started with the guest house clean out and discovered a grinder pump buried in the ground I did not know was there. Code Blue prides themselves on being the experts with "impressive knowledge" so they should have been the ones to discover this. I would have known then that the grinder pump was not installed to code and had the seller fix it. Instead, I am having to pay to have the pump dug out and installed properly. For $5,300. Thank you so much. Bernadette from Code Blue reached out for more information, which I have provided. Waiting for their response.
1 week agoRoto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services
1120 N Anita Ave, Tucson, AZ 85705, USA
(520) 542-3503Will called me before he came out to let me know the most $ the service would cost, due to the Sat premium call. I really appreciated this. We are a member of Parker & Sons who said they could not come out until sometime MONDAY! It had been raining all day & apologized about his shoes being wet. It’s all good! It didn’t take much time to unclog my disposal. He took great care to catch any water & debris that might come out. While he was testing the drain he looked at my tub drain which wouldn’t stay opened to drain. He was able to get it out, clean it a bit & I kept parts to bring to my local Ace hardware. I works HIGHLY recommend Roto Rooter to anyone who has a problem. Thanks again Will.
3 months agoHad a few issues with the sewer system in iur shop and Carlos came out and found the problem very quickly and advised us on the next step to resolve this issue. When it was time to repair he explained the whole process and felt very confident that we wouldn't have an issue anymore thank you for the great service Carlos. Will definitely call back and request Carlos.
1 month agoExcellent service! He came at a time when other plumbers wouldn’t. We had an emergency and he addressed our situation with urgency when other companies wanted us to wait until next day noon. Grateful for your service. I have shared our positive experience with my friends.
1 month agoRooter Ranger
1551 S Eastside Loop Suite #181, Tucson, AZ 85710, USA
(520) 605-0547Quick and efficient! My only issue was when I spoke to someone on the phone, I explained exactly what was going on and it was confirmed that I should not be charged over the $33. Anything more would be confirmed before they continue and charge more. I understand the people at the office may not know as much as the techs. But when the Tech got going, he explained that price is for kitchen sinks trap clean outs that are “easy” and not the main drain like I had tried to ensure before they came. Only thing is that everything was open and easy to access, he didn’t even step a foot in the house. He claimed he didn’t know which way to go at first and went both directions for clean out, which didn’t make sense as it’s one entry point between my house and street, it was obviously blocked towards the street, but whatever. It was only about $15-$20 more but I know that could throw some people off. I was decently happy other than the “possible roots” (even when no objects came out) so he wanted to get a camera down there but I saw no reason.
4 weeks agoFantastic service! By far the best rooter service I've tried (and I've tried a few because of an aggressive mesquite), their technicians are all polite and have great attention to detail. Orlando especially impressed me with this latest interaction. It all started when someone cleaning out my pool dumped a bunch of sludge down my sewer clean-out, causing a sudden and massive clog. Of course it happened at night, and I had a few inches of swamp water filling my shower! I called the emergency line and was happy to hear that someone could come out that night. When Orlando arrived he took care of the problem right away. When discussing some other issues with my line, he also brought up a solution no other plumbing service had. Other companies had always said my root problem could only be solved by hydrojetting or a full reline. Orlando thought outside the box and suggested a fix for just that one bad section of pipe. The rest of my sewer line was sound, but just that one section needed to be repaired. The cost was about a quarter of what I'd been quoted before. I agreed after he helped me find financing. The job was done promptly and they did great completing the work efficiently, cleaning up the site after and leaving everything looking good. Where there were small delays Orlando communicated clearly and promptly, then explained what had been done and what I could expect going forward. This is a big weight off my mind and in a way I'm grateful that clog happened, because this is a better solution than I'd thought possible!
3 months agoFrancisco (Junior) Acosta and his team J and Ian did amazing job did an absolutely exceptional job at our home. They were here for over a week because we had a lot of issues that needed to be fixed, and he handled everything with professionalism and dedication. They arrived early in the morning and stayed late into the evening to make sure the work was completed correctly. Every day, they took the time to explain what he worked on and what was still pending, which we really appreciated. They are a very polite, respectful, and hardworking young men. Their work ethic and attention to detail truly stood out. If you need plumbing work done, I highly recommend requesting Junior, Ian and J. They did an AMAZING job! 👏
1 week agoMr. Rooter Plumbing of Tucson
4030 E Michigan St, Tucson, AZ 85714, USA
(520) 448-2253Yesterday at noon, our septic decided it was full because all of our drains/toilets backed up and water was Overflowing out of each, all over the floor (thankfully, my floors are all concrete and the toilets were clean); however it still made a mess! Moreover, as I said, it was noon so I quickly got on the phone and started calling places all over town. The news just kept getting worse as everybody was booked out for a week! A WEEK!!!! Needless to say, you can't wait a week without the use of your toilets and/or drains. I came across Mr Rooters name in my internet search so I desperately called them. They were so great..... they were able to set my appointment for the afternoon and she told me they would come out and drain my septic in the same day! I couldn't believe it because I was being told by everybody else, it would be anywhere from 3 to 5 days before somebody could come out (that is including our regular septic tank folks). Not only did Mr Rooter set my appointment for that afternoon, someone came out for an initial visit and then called the guys in to come pump my septic! The initial guy came out around 3:00 p.m. and then he called his guy to come pump it. He assured me that they would be pumping it out that night (but I was SOOOO skeptical that they would actually come out and pump it that late). I just knew I would get a call saying that they ran over at their prior appointment and wasn't going to be able to make it out until the next morning. It was around 6:00 p.m. last night but as promised, here comes the pump truck just as I said they would. They turned their lights on, backed to my septic tank and they pumped my septic tank out last night! YES, LAST NIGHT.... I can't express how eternally grateful my husband and I are and we can't thank the entire team at Mr rooter enough! Everyone was so gracious from the young lady who initially answered the phone and set my appointment to the guy who came out for the initial inspection to Adrian who removed our lids a and finally to Devin, who actually ran the pump. Mr Rooter is now our septic tank guys and for any plumbing needs we may have in the future. Thank you so much, you have some very happy customers!
4 weeks agoSome guy from Mr. Rooter and cleared our clog drain for the price they said on the coupon which was 95.00 even! This young gentleman was soo Nice, Professional, Loyal, Respectful, Honest, Respected my Family and I! He gave us four different options on the ways to go. Usually they'll give you 3 options only! This young man "37yro" didn't over priced us! He didn't try to force it the other options on us like most other Plummers do from different companies!. He came over fast at a reliable time! I would most definitely give this dude 10.🌟 stars!! 10/10! 💯!!! I would really recommend Mr. Rooter to my Friends and Family! Very Respectful!!!
1 month agoI googled sewer clog and Mr Rooter came up 1st. Their web site said $95 sewer drain cleaning special. The guy arrived, looked at the problem, then quoted me something like $350. I called him on it. His actual tech arrived and he told him I just wanted the $95 special, like I was a cheapskate. Sewer cleared, the techs were very good and they wrapped up. Then the 1st guy wanted to up sell me to a water jet cleaning. BE FIRM AND DON'T BUY INTO THE BS

3322 N Richey Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85716, USA
(520) 881-6000Tucson Plumbing to the rescue. Ron is our main contact and we have all positive feedback. The entire experience was above and beyond all our expectations. Communication was on point. Price lower by 20% than competitor. Ron coordinated with our other contractor and it was effortless on our side. We live in phoenix and that requires crystal clear communication to articulate problem, option and recommendations. I give them a solid 5 stars and have to add on they are all very customer oriented and personable. One of the techs befriended our puppy and plans in the work to grab lunch with hubby next time in town. They all went above and beyond! Plumbing issues are scary and this team acts fast and with INTEGRITY as a core value. So grateful they are on our team. Job details : Dug up main sewer line from clean outs to gate. Installed new sewer line from clean outs to a few feet from curb hooked into existing clay pipe coming from street.

1 year agoCalled to ask about water softener system, spoke with Lisa who was very informative and helpful. Ended up having a AO Smith water softener installed by Jose. He was very friendly, on time and did a nice job of installing it where we wanted it. He answered all our questions on the unit, how to use it and how it works. Already notice a big difference in our water, he said we would see a difference in 2-3 days but we noticed it that same day. Would recommend Tucson Plumbing for all your plumbing needs.
1 month agoAdrian and Jose did an excellent job installing a water softener, carbon filter and access hole for our air switch at our new residence. They were fast, thorough, clean and courteous! A job well done!
5 months agoCal's Plumbing Inc.
4749 S Irving Ave, Tucson, AZ 85714, USA
(520) 729-2945I wish I could give a higher rating. Nick, from Cal’s came out to address an issue with a small septic tank grinder system connected to the guest house. The issue couldn’t seem to be resolved with 4 different plumbers. Nick came out and diagnosed the issue, listened to our situation and worked with us to completely fix and resolve the issue. This nightmare has finally came to an end and it’s all because of Cal’s. They have earned a customer for life and I will always recommend to anyone in Tucson to go with Cal’s.
3 months agoFantastic service with Cal’s! We had been trying to get our home water softener installed with another company who hadn’t returned our calls or requests for 5 months (I let my husband in charge of this and this is what I get haha). I called Cal’s and they sent someone out to give a quote the same day! Anthony was fantastic and thorough. The crew connected a new water line for us and replaced our sink for a new reverse osmosis system. It was a very labor intensive job of 3 days. We are very pleased with the professionalism and scope of work.
2 months agoThe technician came to evaluate a potential repair to the shower control. He gave a reasonable diagnosis of the symptoms and provided multiple options to move forward. CALS provided a water main connection for me two years ago after a hard freeze. They were prompt in response and did great job for a good price.

4 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Tucson
Dealing with a backed-up sink or a sluggish shower in the Old Pueblo shouldn't mean spending your afternoon on hold. Tucson’s unique Sonoran Desert environment and high mineral content in the water supply create specific challenges for local plumbing systems that require prompt, professional attention. Whether you are in the historic homes near the University of Arizona or a newer development in the Catalina Foothills, a clogged drain can quickly escalate into a costly repair if not handled correctly. Our service is designed to take the guesswork out of finding help. Instead of you calling dozens of contractors hoping someone is available, we do the work for you. We filter our network of certified Tucson plumbers by your specific zip code and proactively call them to verify they have a technician ready to head to your home right now. We don't just give you a list; we give you a solution that is ready to work.
Common Drain Issues in Tucson
Hard water is a major culprit in Tucson. The high calcium and magnesium content in the local water supply leads to significant scale buildup inside your pipes. Over time, this mineral crust catches hair and soap scum, creating stubborn clogs that retail chemical cleaners simply can't dissolve.
Invasive root systems are another frequent issue for Tucson homeowners. Desert trees like Mesquite and Palo Verde have incredibly deep and aggressive roots that seek out moisture. These roots can find tiny cracks in older sewer lines, growing inside and eventually causing complete blockages or pipe collapses.
Monsoon season brings its own set of problems. Heavy summer rains can wash fine desert silt and sand into outdoor area drains or even into the main sewer line through cleanouts that aren't properly sealed. This sediment settles in the pipes, causing recurring drainage issues every time the weather turns wet.
Older neighborhoods in Central Tucson often feature clay or cast-iron piping. These aging materials are prone to corrosion and 'belly' formations where the pipe sags, allowing debris to collect and create frequent backups that require professional hydro-jetting to clear effectively.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Tucson
Before the monsoon season hits in July, check your outdoor floor drains and cleanouts for debris. Clearing away desert sand and leaves can prevent your patio or driveway from flooding during a heavy downpour.
Given Tucson's hard water, we recommend a monthly enzymatic drain treatment rather than harsh acids. This helps break down the organic material that clings to mineral deposits without damaging your pipes or the local environment.
During the rare Tucson freezes in late December or January, ensure your outdoor pipes are insulated. While clogs are usually internal, the stress of temperature changes can cause older, partially blocked pipes to crack or leak.
If you are a 'snowbird' returning to Tucson for the winter, always flush your drains with high-pressure hot water when you first arrive. Water sitting in the P-traps can evaporate, allowing sewer gases to enter and any remaining sediment to harden in the pipes.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Tucson
Basic drain snaking for a single sink or tub typically falls on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting to remove Tucson's tough mineral scale or tree roots will fall on the higher end.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Tucson
How quickly can you find a plumber in my Tucson zip code?
Because we filter our network specifically by your zip code and call to verify 24-hour availability, we can typically confirm a technician for you within minutes, often securing same-day service even during busy monsoon or holiday periods.
Why shouldn't I just use a liquid drain cleaner for my Tucson home?
Tucson's hard water creates calcium deposits that liquid cleaners often can't penetrate. Furthermore, these chemicals can damage older pipes found in many Tucson neighborhoods and are generally ineffective against the heavy root intrusions common in the Sonoran Desert.
Do you cover outlying areas like Oro Valley or Sahuarita?
Yes! Our system uses zip code filtering to scan all of Pima County. Whether you are in Marana, Oro Valley, or the South Side, we verify the availability of plumbers who specifically service your immediate area.
Is 24-hour emergency drain cleaning available?
Yes. We specifically check for 24-hour availability in our network. If you have a midnight backup, we call the pros to ensure they actually have a technician on-call and ready to go before we connect you.
What is the most common cause of sewer backups in Tucson?
The most common causes are invasive roots from desert landscaping and mineral scale buildup from our hard water. Both issues usually require professional equipment like heavy-duty augers or hydro-jetting to resolve permanently.
