Leak Detection in Loma Linda, CA

A higher water bill, a meter that keeps turning, or the sound of water when everything is off means a leak is somewhere you cannot see. We find hidden leaks in Loma Linda homes without tearing things apart. Loma Linda is southeast of our Rialto shop off the I-10, usually a short trip.

We are a small, local outfit, not a franchise. Drain Edge Rooter runs out of 619 E South St in Rialto, holds C-36 license #1078977, and answers (909) 927-3194 24/7.


What you can call us for

  • Checking toilets, valves and fixtures for silent leaks
  • Thermal checks for warm spots on hot-water leaks
  • Water meter test to confirm there is a leak
  • Checking for the pipe types we expect in Loma Linda’s mix of housing (mid-century homes, campus-area condos and apartments, and newer hillside homes)

When to call us about leak detection

  • The water meter moving with everything off
  • Warm spots on the floor
  • Mildew smells in one area
  • Any of the above in a Loma Linda home that has not had its plumbing checked in years

Local factors in Loma Linda

Loma Linda is built around the Loma Linda University campus and medical center, and a lot of the housing nearby, from single-family homes to condos and apartments, serves the people who work and study there. Around Anderson Street and Barton Road, you will find a mix of mid-century homes and newer infill.

Hard water wears on valves and fixture parts in Loma Linda homes, which is a common source of slow, hidden leaks. Loma Linda’s water comes largely from local groundwater, and it is hard enough that mineral scale is a common factor in fixture and water heater problems.

Parts of Loma Linda we cover

Toward the South Hills and Hulda Crooks Park, the homes sit higher on sloped lots, which changes how sewer laterals are graded and how water pressure behaves. Many Loma Linda households keep long or unusual hours because of hospital shifts, so being able to call a plumber around the clock matters here.
