Why this comes up in San Diego

San Diego's hard water cakes up cartridges, seats, and aerators faster than almost anywhere else in California. Whether it's a shower valve in a La Jolla condo, a faucet in a North Park bungalow, or a running toilet in Chula Vista, the real fix is usually a clean cartridge swap plus (eventually) a softener.

FAQ

Common questions

How often should a sump pump be tested?+

Pour a bucket of water in the pit twice a year. If it does not kick on immediately, call us.

Do I need a battery backup?+

If losing the pump for a few hours would cause flooding, yes. Storms take out power and rain at the same time.

How long do sump pumps last?+

Typically 7 to 10 years for the pump itself. Batteries need replacement every 3 to 5 years.

Why do my faucet cartridges keep failing?+

Almost always hard-water scale, not defective cartridges. San Diego water is 15+ grains per gallon and cakes up cartridges fast. A softener extends fixture life dramatically.

Can you work in condos and high-rises Downtown or in Mission Valley?+

Yes. We do fixture work in condos across Downtown, Little Italy, Mission Valley, and Coronado. We coordinate any building water shut-off with property management if needed.
