Plumbing problems we see most in Rialto
A lot of Rialto's housing stock went up between the 1950s and 1970s, which means original cast iron drains, galvanized branch lines and undersized main shutoffs are common finds.
Main shutoff valves that won't close
Original gate valves seize open, which turns a small leak into a flooded room. We replace them with a full-port ball valve while the water is already off.
Water heater replacement in tight garages
Rialto garages often have the heater wedged beside the laundry. We handle the venting, strapping and drain pan properly instead of reusing an out-of-code setup.

Rialto plumbing questions
Do you drive out to Rialto for a single clogged drain?
Yes. It's about 25 minutes from our Upland shop and we schedule Rialto calls the same as any other.
Can you replace a shutoff valve without cutting the water to the whole street?
In most cases yes, using the meter stop. If the meter valve is also bad we coordinate with the water district.
My Rialto main shutoff won't turn. Should I worry?
Yes. If you can't stop the water at the house, a burst supply line becomes a flood instead of a puddle. Replacing a seized gate valve with a ball valve is a short, inexpensive job.
How long does a water heater last in Rialto?
Eight to twelve years is typical with our water. Annual flushing helps, but once the tank itself is rusting there's no repair worth paying for.
