What we see in each part of La Verne:
Craftsman and citrus-era homes from 1900-1930. Repipes here require care for original wood floors and plaster.
Custom homes toward the foothills. Yearly pressure regulator testing, as everywhere in La Verne.
1960s-1980s custom homes. Aging copper and galvanized lines, plus pressure regulator service.
1970s-1980s tract: aging galvanized supply and water heater replacements common.
La Verne started in 1887 as "Lordsburg," incorporated in 1906, and took its current name in 1917; it was the "Heart of the Orange Empire" and is still home to the University of La Verne (founded 1891). That long history gives it three layers of housing: Craftsman and citrus-era homes in Old La Verne near downtown, 1960s-80s tracts through the center as the groves were cleared, and custom homes up toward Marshall Canyon and the San Gabriel foothills. Each era plumbs differently.
La Verne water comes through the City of La Verne and, in parts of town, Golden State Water Company. Like the rest of Southern California, La Verne has high water pressure, so regulators matter. It's hard water, so mineral scale builds up in water heaters and on fixtures.
Our techs know La Verne well: the neighborhoods, the lot layouts and the access routes.
La Verne's housing includes Craftsman and citrus-era homes in Old La Verne, so we arrive knowing what to look for and ready to diagnose what isn't typical.
We test backflow devices on your water provider's schedule and file the results with the provider for you. We also know the paperwork the City of La Verne and Golden State Water Company each require.
In La Verne specifically, the most common calls we get are for historic Craftsman repipes in Old La Verne, and for slab leaks and worn-out pressure regulators across town. But the full range of work we do in La Verne includes:
Active leaks, no water, and sewer backups: we dispatch to La Verne 24/7.
Tank, tankless, gas, electric, hybrid. La Verne's older homes often need code-update work around the unit during replacement.
Our acoustic and electronic detection pinpoints the leak, so repairs need little demolition.
Natural gas service across La Verne, residential and commercial. Every job is pressure-tested and leak-checked before the gas goes back on.
In La Verne's older homes, the sewer laterals are often cast iron or clay, with root intrusion. Cable for blockages, hydrojet to clear roots and grease. Camera inspection on every main line.
Aging galvanized lines are a frequent culprit in La Verne's older homes. Our repipes use PEX or copper and run in phases, and we patch any drywall we open.
Original clay laterals are common in older La Verne neighborhoods. When they crack or roots get in, we line them in place or replace them. Cast-iron, clay, ABS: trenchless when possible.
Annual testing & certification for City of La Verne or Golden State Water Company requirements, depending on your provider. We file the paperwork directly with your water provider on your behalf. We also install and repair backflow preventers.
Restaurants, retail, multi-unit and office properties in La Verne. Flexible, after-hours scheduling around your operating hours.
Sweetwater Plumbing's service area extends across San Bernardino, Riverside and eastern Los Angeles counties.
