Local factors in Redlands

Redlands has some of the oldest housing in our whole service area. The historic districts around downtown, State Street, Smiley Park and the University of Redlands include Victorian and early 1900s homes, and the plumbing in those houses has often been changed piece by piece over a hundred years.

When a Redlands home has had a second slab leak, rerouting or repiping is often the better long-term choice. Redlands water comes from a combination of local groundwater and Santa Ana River and Mill Creek surface water, and it is moderately hard, which shows up as scale in heaters and on fixture parts over time.

Parts of Redlands we cover

South of the 10, near Kimberly Crest and Prospect Park, the streets rise into the hills on larger lots, while North Redlands and the Crafton side have more mid-century and newer tract homes. In older Redlands homes it is common to find a mix of materials on the same property, and that is something we plan around before we start work.

Working in Redlands

We reach Redlands by heading east on the 10, getting off at Alabama Street, Tennessee Street, Orange Street or Ford Street depending on the neighborhood. For the Mentone and Crafton side, we stay on the 10 or use Lugonia Avenue.

The historic homes around Smiley Park and the University of Redlands often have original features that owners want to keep. When we work on plumbing in those houses, we try to do it through basements, crawl spaces and closets so the original finishes stay intact.

Redlands has many established trees, including old citrus and palms, along streets like Olive Avenue, Cajon Street and Citrus Avenue. Roots are a major cause of sewer problems in the older parts of town, and we often recommend a camera inspection before deciding on a repair.

What happens when you call

You talk to our team directly. We ask what you are seeing, how long it has been going on and whether it is getting worse. If water is causing damage right now, we walk you through shutting it off. On site, we find the cause, show you what we found, and go over the options and the price before any work starts. When we finish, we test everything with you.
