Common Villa Park Plumbing Problems
- Hard Water: Villa Park’s water is provided by the Serrano Water District (SWD) and is considered very hard and can corrode galvanized lines, strain water heaters, clog pipes and cause rusty water. Water softener systems are a common preventive measure.
- Water Heater Scale Buildup:Â Like most cities in Orange County, hard water sediment and natural aging are hard on water heaters due to scale buildup.
- Galvanized pipes:Â Galvanized steel pipes were prevalent in the 1960s thru the 1970s when most Villa Park homes were built which can result in brown water, low pressure and pinhole leaks. Quick fixes and spot repairs might work, but if the problem keeps happening, you may need to repipe the whole thing with PEX.
- Clogged Drains & Sewer Backups: F.O.G.S. (fats, oils, greases, and solids) can build up in pipes and cause them to get blocked. These include hair, soap scum, dirt, and mineral deposits. Do not flush rice, pasta, eggshells, fibrous or starchy vegetables, meat scraps, flour, dough, baking mixes, produce stickers, nuts, seeds, or pits.
- Seismic Activity: Being close to the Peralta Hills fault and other faults can cause earthquakes and other seismic shifts that can break pipes, separate joints, and damage connections.
- Slab Leaks: Most of the houses in Villa Park were built between the 1960s and 1980s on slab foundations, which can leak water from below when the ground shifts or shakes. Be on the lookout for warm spots on the floor, mold, cracks in the walls or foundation, or the sound of running water.
Unique Villa Park Plumbing Issues
- Perfect Storm: Many Villa Park homes were built in the 1960s–1970s and unfortunately share a perfect storm of outdated materials, slab foundations, and hard water that create chronic, costly failures such as slab leaks, root intrusions, and corrosion to top every plumber’s call list.
- Villa Park Soil:Â Uphill homes you’ll find clay soil on top of bedrock which creates faster drainage but higher erosion and hillside runoff. Homes in the flatter parts of Villa Park are more clay rich which is susceptible to poor drainage and moisture. Backups along with invasive roots are common issues.
- Estate Landscaping: Most lots are at least half an acre and have a lot of old trees, like eucalyptus or oak trees, whose roots are very thirsty and can get into sewer lines.
Hillside Erosion & Soil Shifts: The clay soil on the steep hillsides of Villa Park, which is also called Cerro Villa Heights, washes away during rains, moving pipes and causing slab leaks. In some places, you may need French drains, berms going up, or higher cleanouts.
Villa Park Plumbing Permits
If you’re planning any plumbing work, you or your plumber (we do this for you) need to get a permit from the Villa Park’s Building and Safety Department. This includes things like swapping out a water heater, installing or relocating sinks and toilets, repiping, and connecting to the sewer system.
Small fixes, such as unclogging drains, stopping leaks, or installing minor plumbing appliances (e.g. garbage disposal), usually don’t need a permit, provided they don’t involve replacing pipes or the fixtures themselves.
At Liquid Plumbing we handle the permit process from application to final inspection.
From Old Towne Orange and up to Anaheim Hills and Yorba Linda and down to North Tustin, we’re the plumbers locals call first.
