What makes Redlands different

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.

Trees in established Redlands neighborhoods are a common cause of root intrusion into sewer joints. 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.

Our Redlands service area

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.

  • streets near the University of Redlands
  • the area around Smiley Park, the Smiley Library and the Redlands Bowl
  • South Redlands and the hills near Kimberly Crest and Prospect Park

  • Crafton and the Mentone side of town

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.

First, a quick phone conversation so we know what to bring. Second, we look at the problem in person and explain it in plain language. Third, you get the options and the price up front, and nothing starts until you say so. Last, we test the work and clean up before we leave.

Sewer Line Repair FAQ for Redlands

Can the line be lined instead of dug up?

Sometimes. If the pipe is intact enough, lining can work. Orangeburg pipe cannot be lined or rehabilitated; it has to be dug up and replaced.

Will I know the cost before you start?

Yes. After the camera inspection, we go over the options and the price before any work begins.

Can roots be removed without repair?

Cutting roots clears the line for a while, but if they are coming in through a cracked joint, they will return until the joint is repaired.

Are you available 24 hours?

Yes. Call (909) 927-3194 anytime.

Do you serve all of Redlands?

Yes. Redlands is east on the I-10 from our Rialto shop, usually within half an hour, and we cover the historic neighborhoods around downtown and State Street, South Redlands and the hills near Kimberly Crest and Prospect Park, Crafton and the Mentone side of town and the rest of the city, 24 hours a day.
