Where is the clog?

  • One fixture slow

    A local clog in that fixture's line.

  • Lowest drain or several fixtures back up

    That points past the house.

  • Sewer smell at a cleanout

Mesa sewer backups: plumber first, then the city

You maintain the lateral, the line from house to main; the city maintains the main. For roots or flushed items, the city says call a plumber first.

Snake, jet or camera

A snake suits a local clog, jetting suits buildup, and a camera shows whether it's your lateral or the city's main.

Mesa drain and sewer line questions

Who do I report a sewer backup to in Mesa?

Start with a plumber to check whether the blockage is in your line. If it's in the city's main, call Wastewater Collection at 480-644-2262 (a fee and signed waiver apply).

Do baking soda and vinegar unclog a drain?

They can loosen a light film, but they won't fix a real clog. With several fixtures slow, don't wait. For one fixture, try a plunger and skip chemical openers, which can damage pipes.

What if the city has to come onto my Mesa property?

The city charges a fee to come onto your property and requires a signed Sewer Blockage Waiver Form. A plumber's check first can show whether you need to call it.
