Notes from our Upland jobs

Upland climbs uphill from the 10 toward the San Gabriel foothills, and the housing changes as you go. Around Historic Downtown and the Euclid Avenue corridor, there are older homes on mature lots with long-established trees. Near Foothill Boulevard, the old Route 66, where the Madonna of the Trail statue stands at Euclid, you get a mix of older and mid-century homes.

Pilot and thermocouple problems are common on older gas heaters in Upland garages. Upland draws on local groundwater and canyon water as well as imported supply, and the water is hard enough that mineral scale is a regular factor in fixture and heater problems.

Areas of Upland we serve

North of the 210, around the Upland Hills and up toward San Antonio Heights, homes are generally newer and larger. The citrus-grove history of the city means a lot of older lots still have big trees, and tree roots are a frequent reason we end up working on Upland sewer laterals.

Working in Upland

From our Rialto shop we usually take the 210 west to Upland and get off at Euclid Avenue, Campus Avenue or Mountain Avenue, depending on which part of town we are headed to. For homes south of Foothill, the 10 and Euclid can be faster.

Many Upland streets north of Foothill Boulevard are lined with big trees, and the citrus history means some lots still have old trees close to the house. Those roots are hard on clay sewer laterals, and that is a big reason we bring a camera on Upland drain calls.

Up toward San Antonio Heights, homes sit on slopes at the base of the mountains, which affects water pressure and how sewer lines are graded. In Historic Downtown around Second Avenue, older homes and small businesses sit close together, so we plan access and parking before we arrive.

Water Heater Repair FAQ for Upland

Is a dripping relief valve dangerous?

It can mean too much pressure or temperature, or a worn valve. Have it checked soon.

Is it worth repairing my water heater?

If the tank is not leaking and the heater is not near the end of its life, repairs are often worth it. If the tank leaks, it needs replacement.

Why is my water heater making noise?

Sediment build-up on the bottom of the tank is the usual cause.
