Common leak detection issues in Tempe

  • Pinhole leaks in copper supply lines from the inside out. Phoenix's high chloride water content corrodes copper from the inside in 1990s-2000s homes with thin Type M pipe.
  • PEX supply lines in attics softening at 140°F+ summer attic temperatures and developing slow leaks at fittings.
  • Polybutylene (grey plastic) supply lines in 1980-1995 homes failing at brass fittings. If you have this pipe, it's not a question of whether but when.
  • In Tempe specifically, tempe rentals tend to have deferred plumbing : cast-iron drains, galvanized supply, water heaters past 12 years, and that pattern shapes how leak detection calls get scoped and which contractors fit the work.
