Plumbing FAQ - Reseda, CA

Most Reseda homes were built during the 1950s-70s post-war construction boom using galvanized steel pipes. After 50-70 years, these pipes are severely corroded, especially with LADWP's moderately hard water accelerating the deterioration process.

Mature landscaping in established Reseda neighborhoods creates persistent root intrusion into aging cast iron sewer lines. Properties along Sherman Way and Victory Boulevard are particularly affected by tree roots seeking moisture in deteriorating pipes.

LADWP supplies moderately hard water to Reseda, which causes mineral buildup on fixtures and in appliances. This hardness level creates scale deposits that affect water heater efficiency and fixture lifespan throughout Reseda homes.

LADWP's moderately hard water causes significant sediment buildup in water heaters, reducing efficiency and lifespan. The mineral deposits are particularly problematic in older Reseda tract homes where units aren't regularly maintained.

Homes with original galvanized pipes from the 1950s-70s construction boom need repiping when experiencing frequent leaks, low pressure, or rusty water. Most Reseda tract homes are at or past the replacement point for galvanized systems.
