Leak detection and repair in Fullerton, CA
Fullerton is a diverse Orange County city with housing that spans from early-1900s Craftsman homes in the historic downtown area to 1950s-70s tracts to newer developments near Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College.
For this section of the city, slab leak detection tops the volume. pinhole leak repair is the recurring second most-called category. The nearby Brea coverage is handled by the same crew.
Fullerton sits southeast of La Mirada in Orange County and is one of the larger adjacent cities in the area. The city has one of the most varied housing age profiles in the region, from Craftsman bungalows near the historic downtown dating from the 1910s and 1920s, through the postwar suburban tracts built in the 1950s and 1960s, to newer apartment construction around the Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College campuses. That range means the plumbing conditions in Fullerton properties span galvanized steel supply lines near the end of their service life in historic homes to copper pinholes in mid-century tracts to polybutylene in properties built or remodeled between 1978 and the mid-1990s.
Historic downtown
Early-1900s homes with original plumbing
The historic neighborhoods around Fullerton's downtown area include Craftsman and Period Revival homes built between roughly 1910 and 1940, some of which retain original or early-replacement galvanized steel supply lines. At eighty to a hundred years of service, galvanized pipe in this area may have corroded internally to a small fraction of its original bore, producing low water pressure, rust-colored water at first draw, and eventual pinhole failure at thinned wall sections. These homes are also commonly on raised foundations with crawl spaces, which places the supply lines in a different detection environment than La Mirada's predominant slab-on-grade construction.
