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.

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!

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.

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!

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 have used Allegiance for years now and every time I'm still amazed at how courteous and professional they are. Every year I have my R.O. filter changed and my soft water big blue filter changed. They also perform my mist services for the backyard with shutdown for the winter and startup in the spring. 100% recommend them!

After 5 years we had water softener , we found out we use soft water for our pool and watering the plants in our back yard , so I called this company they responded fast and the next day they sent their technician Ruben . After we agreed on his estimate , he came the next day. He did awesome job on separating our soft water. Ruben was knowledgeable, fast and reliable. I am so happy with his work and recommend him and this company to everyone.

Had an issue with my sprinkler system, something failed and I had a big wet spot on the side of my house. Called in and was helped with instructions on how to turn off the sprinkler side so no water would go to it until a repair could be scheduled. Paul comes out and shows me the problem, we set a time and he fixes all of that, THEN while testing, just waltzes into the spraying sprinklers and dials in where the water SHOULD have been spraying, like " oh, that's the wrong direction to spray for this area..." Then he programs the whole thing to fix my already mediocre lawn and bushes, told me what to do to improve my lawn through yard care and got into his car with soaking pants and thanked ME! 10/10.

Why should you hire Allegiance? Quality. Dependability. Customer service. Experience. Dedication. Hard work. This company takes quality experience and service to the next level. I haven’t worked with many home service companies who do such a good job like this. From the moment we got the quote, until the minute the job was done, they were reliable and they provided the service we requested. First they came out to inspect the issue. Once they figured out what was wrong, they provided a verbal quote and followed up with a digital quote. I was able to accept the quote digitally and put a deposit down to begin the work. Since our system needed to be replaced, it was quite a process and luckily they had it all under control. They contacted the city and cox communications to flag their underground items so that they knew where to avoid. Then Lawson came out and literally spent an entire day replacing the system. The customer service was above and beyond. Yes there are a million plumbers and irrigation companies out there, but there aren’t as many reputable, trustworthy, licensed and qualified ones like Allegience.
