Local plumbing issues in Fresno
Hard water
Groundwater and surface water in Fresno leave scale in heaters and fixtures.
Summer heat
Attic and garage water heaters sit in extreme heat, stressing tanks and relief valves.
Galvanized pipe
Older homes still have galvanized supply that corrodes and loses pressure.
Older laterals
Clay and cast-iron laterals in the Tower District and Fig Garden crack and collect roots from mature trees.
Water meters and leaks
Since meters were installed citywide, hidden leaks show up on bills, which has made leak detection a more common call.
Summer water use
Fresno summers regularly pass 100°F, and lawns, drip lines and pool fill valves run hard. Leaks in those outdoor lines can hide under landscaping until a bill or a soggy patch shows up.
