Leak Detection and Highland housing
Highland grew up from citrus country at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. The older part of town around Palm Avenue and Base Line still has homes from the early and middle 1900s, while the streets off Boulder and Victoria Avenues are mostly later tract housing.
In newer Highland homes, leaks are more often at fittings and connections than in the pipe itself. Much of Highland is served by the East Valley Water District from groundwater and Santa Ana River water, and it runs hard enough that scale shows up on valves, cartridges and water heaters.
Around Highland
Further east, East Highlands Ranch and the Greenspot Road area are newer planned neighborhoods with more modern piping. Because Highland sits right at the foot of the mountains, a lot of yards have rocky or decomposed-granite soil and mature trees, both of which matter when we have to dig or run a camera down a sewer line.

Working in Highland
Highland is a short trip from Rialto on the 210 east. We use the Base Line, Palm Avenue, Boulder Avenue and Greenspot Road exits, and SR-330 for homes toward the mountain end of town.
Older Highland homes near Palm Avenue and Base Line can have galvanized supply lines and clay sewer laterals from the original construction. In East Highlands Ranch, the homes are newer, but HOA rules can affect access, parking and work hours, which we plan around.
Because Highland sits at the base of the mountains, many lots have rocky or decomposed-granite soil. That matters for digging sewer repairs and can affect how quickly water drains in a yard, so we take it into account when we plan the work.

Leak Detection FAQ for Highland
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Turn off every fixture and look at your water meter. If the leak indicator is moving, water is going somewhere.
Do you have to open walls to find a leak?
Usually not. We use listening equipment and pressure testing to locate the leak first, so any opening is small and in the right spot.
Can a toilet cause a high water bill?
Yes. A leaking flapper can run silently all day and is one of the most common causes of a surprise bill.
Does insurance cover leak detection?
It depends on your policy. We can provide documentation of what we found for your insurance company.
Do you serve all of Highland?
Yes. Highland is northeast of our Rialto shop on the 210, usually a quick trip, and we cover the older neighborhoods off Palm Avenue and Base Line, the area around Greenspot Road, homes near the San Manuel and Yaamava’ area and the rest of the city, 24 hours a day.
