Common Plumbing Problems in Apple Valley Homes
Liberty Utilities, a private company, supplies Apple Valley's water. All of it is groundwater from the Mojave basin, pumped from 21 wells. The system dates to 1947.
The Town has been trying since 2016 to take over the water system by eminent domain, and the case is still in the courts. Sewage that enters the Town's sewers is treated at the regional plant in Victorville. The median Apple Valley home was built in 1987.
Long Lines on Big Lots
Half-acre and larger lots mean a long water line from the meter and a long drain line out. A leak on that run shows as a wet strip of ground or a meter that turns with every tap off. A sewer camera inspection finds a break in a long drain without digging its whole length.
Before a High Desert Freeze
- Wrap exposed pipe and the backflow device.
- Disconnect hoses and cover outside faucets.
- Shut off and drain the swamp cooler line for winter.
- Know where the main shutoff is. See frozen pipes.
Septic and Sewer Backups
On large lots, a full septic tank or a long, rooted sewer line backs up.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Apple Valley
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Apple Valley.
- Distance. Long yard lines on large lots take more digging and pipe.
- Septic work. Pumping the tank is a separate job from repairing the plumbing.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
