Sewer Line Repair in Chandler, Camera First, No Guessing
Recurring backups, gurgling drains, sewage smell without a visible cause. The problem may be underground. The camera goes in the line first, same day on most calls. You see the footage before anybody talks about digging.
Chandler is partway through expanding its Ocotillo reclamation plant, upgrading the headworks and the biological treatment so the system keeps up with the city's growth. The city's end of the pipe is getting bigger. The line running out of your house is the same line it always was.
What Happens After Your Chandler Line Leaves the House
Chandler's wastewater is a municipal system run by the city's Public Works and Utilities department, treated at three reclamation facilities to a Class A standard and then either sent back out for irrigation or recharged into the aquifer. The Ocotillo facility, originally an 18 million gallon per day plant, is partway through a phase one expansion of its headworks and biological treatment to keep up with a city that has added more than 57,000 residents since 2010. All of that is the city's half of the pipe. Your half is the 40 or 60 feet between the house and the main, and none of the city's expansion touches it. Ficus, mulberry, olive and elm all do well in Chandler yards, and roots have been measured better than 19 feet out from a trunk only six inches across, which is far enough to reach a joint from the middle of a normal lot.
Ficus, mulberry, olive and elm all do well in Chandler yards, and roots go where the water is. A camera is the only way to see whether they have found a joint in your line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people asking that are really asking whether a sewer problem gets a real appointment today or a slot next week. Same-day on most jobs is the policy, and Chandler is a 25 to 35 minute drive from our Phoenix office, out the 101 or the 202 depending on traffic. The distance is not the thing that decides it.
Chandler's wastewater is a municipal system, run by the city and treated at three reclamation facilities to a Class A standard, with 93 miles of purple pipe carrying reclaimed water back out to more than 400 irrigation and industrial customers. Your house is almost certainly connected to that system. What none of that tells you is the condition of the run between your house and the main, which is the part you own and the only part a camera needs to see.
