A Glendale Plumber Who Knows the Housing Stock
Glendale is a big city with a wide range of homes, and that changes what a plumbing call looks like. A three-bedroom ranch off 59th Avenue from the 1960s has different weak spots than a stucco two-story in Arrowhead Ranch built in the 1990s, and both are different from the newer builds around Westgate and the Loop 101.
In the older neighborhoods around historic downtown and Catlin Court, we see original cast iron drain lines that have scaled up and rusted through, galvanized supply pipe that has closed down to a trickle, and sewer laterals that roots found long ago. In the 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods further north, the issues shift to copper pinhole leaks, slab leaks, aging water heaters and early plastic piping.
Alex & Bros Plumbing is a family-owned company based just over the border in Peoria. Alex answers the phone, comes to your Glendale home himself, and gives you the price before any work starts.

What We Run Into Most in Glendale
Cast iron drains in older homes
Many homes built in central Glendale before the 1970s were plumbed with cast iron drain lines. Cast iron lasts a long time, but it rusts from the inside out. The inside surface gets rough and narrow, which catches grease and paper and leads to repeat clogs. Eventually the bottom of the pipe can rot through under the slab.
Galvanized water lines
Galvanized steel supply pipe corrodes internally until very little water can get through. If your pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak at the showers, or your water runs brown after sitting, galvanized pipe is a likely cause.
Slab leaks in 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods
Arrowhead Ranch and similar neighborhoods have copper water lines under the slab that are now thirty or more years old. Pinholes on the hot side are especially common. A warm spot in the floor is the classic sign.
Hard water on everything
Glendale water is hard, like the rest of the Valley. Scale shortens water heater life and wears out faucet cartridges and toilet fill valves.
Commercial Plumbing in Glendale
Our main work is residential, but we do help small Glendale businesses with drain clogs, water heater swaps and restroom fixture repairs. If you run a small office, shop or rental property, call and tell us what you need.
Planning Ahead in a Glendale Home
If you have lived in your Glendale house for a while, a little planning goes a long way. Know where your main shutoff is and make sure it turns. Check the date on your water heater label. Look under sinks for any dampness or corrosion around the angle stops. And if a drain has clogged more than twice in a year, find out why instead of snaking it a third time.
Those small checks catch most problems before they turn into a weekend emergency.

I cant stress enough how exceptional his service was. I knew my situation wasnt easy by any means but it was WAY more that I described too. He replaced the pipes and made it look amazing also. And the price was cheap! I WILL absolutely call him again if something plumber related comes up.
