Redlands homes and plumbing

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.

Soil movement in Redlands can stress pipes under the slab and lead to leaks over time. 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.

Neighborhoods in and around Redlands

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
  • North Redlands along San Bernardino Avenue
  • 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.

From the first call to the finished job

Most calls start with a few questions: which fixtures are affected, when it started, and whether anything is leaking. That tells us how urgent it is. When we arrive, we diagnose before we recommend anything, and you hear the price before we pick up a tool. We double-check the repair before we go.
