What Are the Signs of a Plumbing Leak?

Detecting a plumbing leak early can save you from costly repairs down the line. A small leak could lead to bigger issues like mold or structural damage. We offer expert plumbing leak repairs, so let us know immediately if you notice any of these signs of problems:

  • Unexplained increases in your water bill
  • Damp or musty odors in your home
  • Water stains on walls or ceilings
  • Low water pressure in taps or showers

Wet spots on floors or around the foundation

How Do You Handle Emergency Plumbing Issues?

Plumbing emergencies, like burst pipes or overflowing toilets, often happen at the most inconvenient times. No matter how big or small the issue, we’re here to help Arizona residents with fast, reliable solutions around the clock. Here’s how it works:

  • Contact our emergency line
  • Describe your issue

Our licensed plumbers will arrive promptly with all the tools needed to fix the problem

Do You Offer Drain Cleaning Services?

Yes. If you’re dealing with a slow or clogged drain, our professional drain cleaning services will clear the blockage quickly. We use advanced equipment like high-pressure water jets to eliminate grease, debris, and even tree roots clogging your drain. Regular drain cleaning is essential to prevent buildup and avoid costly repairs in the future, so add it to your home maintenance checklist.

What’s the Difference Between a Water Softener and an RO System?

Water softeners and reverse osmosis systems both improve water quality, but they serve different purposes. Many of our customers install both for optimal water quality inside their homes. Here’s what each does:

  • Water Softener – Water softeners remove minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. This extends the life of appliances and plumbing fixtures while making skin and hair feel softer after showering.
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) System – This solution uses a filtration process to remove contaminants like chlorine, lead, and bacteria from drinking water. It delivers purified, safe water that’s perfect for drinking and cooking.

What Is a Sewer Line Inspection and When Is It Necessary?

A sewer line inspection uses a small camera to check the condition of your sewer pipes. We recommend it if you notice frequent clogs, backed-up drains, or foul odors. Sewer inspections can reveal problems like blockages, cracks, or tree root intrusion. Catching these issues early can save you from expensive repairs or even a full sewer line replacement.

What Are the Benefits of an Irrigation System?

Phoenix’s dry climate makes water management essential for homeowners with lawns or gardens. Whether you’re aiming for lush landscaping or just want to simplify your watering routine, an irrigation system is a smart investment. Benefits include:

  • Consistent and efficient watering of plants and grass
  • Reduced water waste compared to manual watering
  • Improved water distribution, helping your yard thrive

What Types of Irrigation Systems Do You Install?

We proudly provide customized irrigation systems to meet every customer’s needs. If you’re unsure what’s right for you, our expert team will explain your options and suggest the best fit for your yard and budget. Among our popular options are:

  • Drip Irrigation
  • Sprinkler System

How Do I Choose the Right Irrigation System for My Property?

Choosing an irrigation system depends on factors like your yard size, landscaping needs, and water usage goals. A consultation with our team can help you make the right decision. Allegiance Water Services evaluate your property and recommend a setup that keeps your landscaping beautiful and easy to maintain. Some rules of thumb are:

  • If you have a garden, drip irrigation will save water by directing it precisely where needed.
  • Large lawns often benefit from sprinklers due to their wide coverage.

How Can I Monitor My Water Usage With an Irrigation System?

Our advanced irrigation systems allow homeowners to track water usage with smart controllers. These devices monitor weather conditions and adjust watering schedules automatically to conserve water. Smart irrigation technology can help you save on utility bills and maintain a healthy, green landscape.

Do You Offer Free Estimates?

Yes. Whether you need to install an RO system, require irrigation system repairs, or want to upgrade your plumbing, we’ll provide a free estimate so that you can plan accordingly. Contact our team right away for a free estimate, expert advice, or to schedule a service.

Allegiance Water Services are prompt, thorough, and professional. I found them when they did work on my next door neighbor’s irrigation system. When my irrigation started leaking and watering weeds, I called Allegiance Water Systems for a quote and then to schedule repairs. They send text messages and emails with links to track your technician or to call them direct. Invoicing is quick and easy to access via their billing system. You have everything in writing with links to confirm, deny, or modify your service needs.

Paul came today to check my Rain Bird system controller. I have worked with him during my new irrigation installation project at the beginning of this year. I was extremely pleased with the outcome then and again today. I specifically requested him for today’s job. As always, he offered excellent, professional service, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. I would refer him and Allegiance Water Service to my friends with high remarks.

I had an exceptional experience with Allegiance today. My old gas water heater needs to be replaced. I called Allegiance yesterday and discussed with David who is very knowledgeable, transparent and told me pros and cons among the different water heaters. I decided to go with 50 gallon Bradford White water heater. Ruben came in next day and clearly explained to me what is the process. He is excellent, very skillful and told me how to maintain it. He cleaned everything afterwards. I am very happy with their services and will call Allegiance for my plumbing issues for sure. Ruben from Allegiance Water Services did an excellent job again today. I had water hammer issue for a couple of months and my pipes coming out the main pipe weren't connected right by a previous plumber. The irrigation system controller needs to be replaced as well And it is now upgraded to an enabling phone control unit. Ruben did an excellent job on replacing the unit and repiping everything. It only took him an hour and they work great! Ruben is very experienced, knowledgeable and efficient. It wouldn't go wrong for Ruben to do your plumbing jobs.

I had made an appointment for Thursday, but was pleasantly surprised to receive a call on Wednesday that Eloy could come out a day early. They serviced my RO water system and soft water system. They exhibited excellent attention to detail and worked in a professional manner. When finished they cleared explained what we needed to to do move for the coming year. I will certainly use them again for annual inspections and servicing.

David was terrific to work with to get my endless questions answered and align on the right water softener system. Lawson, who installed the water softener was outstanding. He explained service and care issues and did a very professional install. The whole team takes their customers satisfaction seriously. I'll be back for future plumbing needs!

Lawson installed a reverse osmosis system at our new home today. While he was here, he also helped answer (many!) other questions and helped inspect the home’s irrigation system for me. He was thorough, professional, friendly, and patient. Thanks so much Lawson and Allegiance!
