Biola University has been part of La Mirada since 1959, when it relocated its campus to the city. The residential and commercial neighborhood around the campus has grown up alongside it over more than sixty years, creating a mixed area of single-family homes, rental houses, and small apartment buildings that serve both permanent La Mirada residents and the university community. The housing in the area spans decades, from original 1950s-60s tracts on the surrounding streets to later construction closer to the campus edge, which means the plumbing conditions range from aging copper in deep pinhole territory to 1970s-80s polybutylene that has seen four decades of hard MWD water.
Rental properties
Multi-unit and rental needs
Rental properties around a university campus often cycle tenants quickly and defer maintenance on aging plumbing until a leak becomes impossible to ignore. When a wall leak or a slow drain in a rental finally gets attention, the landlord or property manager typically needs fast service, written documentation of what was found and repaired, and a repair that holds rather than a temporary fix. We work on rental properties with the same detection discipline we use on owner-occupied homes, and the written detection record we provide on every job is in the format that serves insurance and property management needs.

The housing era
Mixed pipe ages around the campus
Single-family homes on the streets surrounding Biola's campus date from the 1950s and 60s, putting their copper supply lines at sixty to seventy years of service under Suburban Water Systems water from the Metropolitan Water District at 9 to 12 grains per gallon hardness. Apartments and rental conversions built or remodeled in the late 1970s and 1980s may carry polybutylene supply lines. Both failure modes are common in the area, and both require a different repair approach: spot repair or repipe for copper pinholes, and a full repipe for polybutylene that has begun to fail.
