Plumber in Tustin

Plumbing in Tustin

Tustin packs three very different kinds of housing into one city. Old Town Tustin holds the oldest homes. Tustin Ranch was planned and built in the 1980s and 1990s. Tustin Legacy has gone up on the former Marine Corps Air Station, in view of its two blimp hangars. Wherever you are, the plumber is sent from the nearest of our locations.

Housing here is younger than in neighboring Santa Ana. Of Tustin's 28,482 housing units, 47 percent date from before 1980, and the median year built is 1983. Only 34 percent are single-family houses, so condos, townhomes and apartments make up most of the city, and drain lines shared between units come up often.

In Old Town the plumbing tends to be as old as the houses, which can mean galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay drains that narrow and crack with age. Out in Tustin Ranch, where homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, the pipe usually holds up, and the trouble is more often a water heater, a tankless unit or a faucet worn down by hard water.

In Tustin Legacy the homes are the newest in town, so calls there are mostly about fixtures, water heaters and drains clogged by everyday use rather than failing pipe. Old house or new, you see the price in writing and say yes to it before we touch anything.

Tustin borders Santa Ana, Irvine, Orange and North Tustin, and we cover every one of them, so help is sent from whichever of our locations is closest. Someone answers the phone at any hour, we look inside the line before anything is cut open, and the price is written down before the work begins.
