What Covina Homeowners Call Us About

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Covina.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Covina's 1950s-1970s tract homes still have original galvanized plumbing that's now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause rusty water, especially common in Charter Oak and North Covina neighborhoods.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

San Gabriel Valley's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Covina. This mineral accumulation creates popping sounds and reduces efficiency, particularly affecting homes near the foothills where mineral content is higher.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Covina's mature landscaping and established trees create frequent root problems in clay sewer lines. Areas like South Hills and Hollenbeck Canyon with large trees are especially prone to root intrusion blocking main sewer lines.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Concrete slab foundations are common in Covina's post-war construction, making slab leaks a frequent issue. Hard water corrosion combined with ground settling affects copper pipes embedded in concrete, especially in Vincent and Eastland areas.
