Slab Leak Repair and Riverside housing

We focus on the northern part of Riverside, the side closest to our Rialto shop. That includes Downtown around the Mission Inn and Main Street, the Northside neighborhood, the University area near UC Riverside, and the streets around Fairmount Park and Mount Rubidoux.

Copper lines under older Riverside slabs can wear thin from hard water and from rubbing against concrete or rebar. Riverside Public Utilities supplies most of the city from groundwater, and the water is hard, so scale build-up on valves, heaters and fixtures is common.

Around Riverside

North Riverside has some of the oldest homes in the region, with early 1900s houses and bungalows near downtown and postwar neighborhoods further out. Near UC Riverside there are many rentals and older homes that have been converted, so the plumbing has often been changed and patched by different people over the years.

Working in Riverside

We get to north Riverside on the I-215 or the 60, using University Avenue, Columbia Avenue, Iowa Avenue and Market Street to reach most neighborhoods. For downtown, Main Street and Market Street are the usual routes.

Downtown Riverside and the Northside have many early 1900s homes, and the plumbing in them has usually been updated in pieces. It is not unusual to find galvanized, copper and plastic on the same property, and old clay or cast-iron sewer laterals under the yard.

Near UC Riverside, many homes are rentals with heavy use. Landlords and property managers call us for tenant calls, and we send them clear notes on what we found and fixed.
