Phoenix receives half its annual rainfall during monsoon season, often in violent bursts that drop inches of rain in less than an hour. The sudden influx overwhelms the city's aging combined sewer and stormwater systems, especially in older neighborhoods where infrastructure dates back 50 to 70 years. When the main line surcharges, sewage finds the path of least resistance, often backing up through floor drains and toilets in homes at low points in the system. Desert soil conditions worsen the problem. Our caliche layers and expansive clay create ground movement that cracks rigid pipe materials. Tree roots seek moisture in sewer laterals, infiltrating through joints and creating complete blockages during peak flow periods.
