Lake Elsinore FAQs
Water is coming into my house right now. What do I do?+
If it is from your plumbing, shut the main valve. Either way, keep people away from outlets, move what you can, and call us while you work. We will tell you in one minute whether it is a plumbing failure or storm water, and what we can stop tonight.
Does living near the lake really affect my plumbing?+
Yes. A high water table means the ground around your slab and yard lines stays damp, hides leaks and floats sewer lines out of grade over time. It also means a small slab leak shows up as a wet floor much faster. Shoreline homes should treat any persistent damp spot as worth a call.
My downtown house still has old steel pipes. Repipe or wait?+
Galvanized pipe fails from the inside, so by the time you see rusty water or lose pressure, it is close. You do not have to repipe in a panic: we can assess which runs are worst and stage the work. Repipes can be financed, OAC.
Drains back up every time it storms. Whose problem is it?+
If it is sinks and tubs, it is your sewer lateral surcharging, and that is ours to fix: we camera the line and find where storm water is getting in. If it is only yard and street water, that is drainage, and we can jet yard drains so they carry the next storm.
How fast can you get around the lake?+
We route crews up the 15, so Canyon Hills and downtown are quick, and Lakeland Village on the Grand Avenue side is a known drive we quote honestly. During storms we stack crews because we know the calls are coming.
