Plumbing Services in Tempe, AZ
We handle the full range of residential plumbing. The work we do most of is water heaters — installation and replacement, both conventional tank units and tankless — along with water conditioning and softeners, drain cleaning, and gas line installation and repair. Those four are where most of our service calls land.\n\nBeyond that we install reverse osmosis drinking water systems and whole-house filtration, run camera inspections on drain and sewer lines, repair slab leaks, repipe houses that have started failing repeatedly, and handle fixtures, faucets, toilets and garbage disposals. We do the plumbing for kitchen and bathroom remodels, and we still take on new construction — residential, commercial and custom homes — which is the work this company was built on.\n\nThere are things we do not do, and we would rather say so plainly. We do not own a jetter, so we do not do hydro jetting. We do not do pipe lining or pipe bursting, and we do not work on septic systems or irrigation. When a job calls for one of those, we will tell you and point you toward somebody who does it properly.
How We Work, Step by Step
It starts with a conversation. Call the office or send the form and tell us what is happening — what you are seeing, how long it has been going on, and how old the house is. A lot of the time that is enough for us to tell you roughly what you are dealing with before anyone gets in a truck, and if we can save you a service call by sorting it out over the phone, we will.\n\nIf it needs eyes on it, we come out. Our service call is $145, and that covers properly diagnosing the problem rather than guessing at it. On a job like a suspected slab leak or a recurring drain blockage, that means locating the actual fault before anyone opens up a floor or quotes a repair.\n\nThen you get a price and a straight explanation of what we found. Not a menu of options built around the most expensive one — just what is wrong, what it takes to fix it, and what that costs. If there is more than one sensible way to approach it, we will lay out both and tell you which one we would choose. If the honest answer is that it does not need fixing yet, that is what you will hear.\n\nOnce you approve it, we schedule the work and do it. Most jobs are done in a single visit. Our workmanship is warranted for a year, and anything we install carries whatever warranty the manufacturer provides. If something goes wrong afterward, you call us and we come back — that has been how this company operates since 1978.
Why Tempe Homeowners Call Adair Plumbing
We are plumbers, not salespeople. This valley is where we live and work, the people we work for are our neighbours, and that is the whole reason we will not sell you something you do not need.
- Family owned and operated since 1978 — same owner, same company
- Doug Adair still goes out on jobs himself
- You get told what you need, and just as importantly, what you do not
- Five field staff, not a rotating cast of subcontractors
- Published pricing on the work where pricing can honestly be published
- One-year warranty on our workmanship, and we come back if something is wrong
The advice you get from us is the advice we would give a neighbour — because more often than not, that is exactly who you are. Nearly five decades of working in these same neighbourhoods is what keeps it that way.
Why We Like Working in Tempe
Tempe is compact, densely built and older than most of the cities around it, which makes for a particular kind of plumbing work.
- The neighborhoods surrounding Arizona State University, where a great deal of the housing is rented and the plumbing gets used harder than average
- The mid-century subdivisions south and east of downtown, now at the age where original supply lines start to fail
- Mill Avenue and the downtown district, where commercial and residential sit side by side
- Tempe Town Lake and Hayden Butte — the 'A' Mountain everybody navigates by
- Papago Park on the northern edge, and Arizona Mills over on the south side
Because Tempe was built earlier than its neighbors, we see more aging-pipe work here — slab leaks, repipes and fixtures that have simply reached the end of their service life.
FAQs — Plumbing in Tempe, AZ
Do you work with landlords and property managers in Tempe?
Yes. Rental property is a big part of the housing here and we are happy to work with owners and managers.
My Tempe house is from the 1960s. Should I be worried about the pipes?
Not necessarily worried, but worth watching. Repeated leaks are the signal that matters. One isolated problem is a repair, not a reason to repipe.
Do you handle slab leaks in Tempe?
Yes, and locating the leak accurately before opening any concrete is the part we take time over.
How quickly can you get to Tempe?
We are based in Mesa, so Tempe is close. Call and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. If we can sort it out over the phone that costs you nothing. On-site diagnosis is our $145 service call.
