Warning Signs Worth a Call
A leak often shows up somewhere other than where it starts. These signs usually mean water is moving where it should not.
- Your water bill jumped without a change in household use.
- A wall, ceiling or baseboard has a spreading stain or feels soft.
- There is a damp patch on the floor or a warm spot on a slab.
- Water pressure dropped at several fixtures at once.
- The water meter keeps moving with every fixture turned off.
- You smell musty air near a cabinet, closet or crawlspace.
What to Do Right Now
- 1Shut off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply when it is safe to do so.
- 2Keep people and pets away from sewage or contaminated water.
- 3Do not touch electrical devices, outlets or panels near standing water.
- 4If you suspect a gas leak, leave the property and contact emergency services or the gas utility.
- 5Call and explain the symptoms and the location in the home.
Do not attempt repairs you are not comfortable with. Describe what you are seeing on the call instead.
Why Plumbing Fails in Southern California Homes
Southern California housing stock and ground conditions create a fairly predictable set of plumbing problems. These are possible contributing factors rather than a diagnosis — the cause is confirmed on site.
- Older galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains in homes built before the 1970s.
- Hard-water mineral buildup that narrows pipes and shortens water-heater life.
- Slab foundations, where a supply leak can show up as a warm floor or unexplained moisture.
- Pipe corrosion at fittings and transitions between dissimilar metals.
- Dry ground movement in long stretches without rain, which stresses buried lines.
- Seismic movement that can shift or loosen pipe joints over time.
