Common Plumbing Problems in Baldwin Park Homes
The City of Baldwin Park does not run a water system. It lists 3 providers: Valley County Water District, San Gabriel Valley Water Company and Valley View Mutual Water Company. Your address decides which one you have.
Valley County Water District was formed in 1926 as the Baldwin Park Water District and pumps mainly from the Main San Gabriel groundwater basin. The median Baldwin Park home was built in 1964.
Is It Time to Repipe?
- Brown water when a tap is first opened.
- A shower that goes weak when someone flushes.
- Leaks at more than one threaded joint.
- A galvanized pipe that crumbles when a plumber tries to unscrew it.
Three Water Companies
Look at your bill before you call about a leak in the street or at the meter, because the city cannot send a crew. The water company owns the main and the meter. The line from the meter to the house, and everything inside, belongs to the owner. Close the main shutoff and call a plumber for anything on your side.
Sewer Backups
Clay and cast iron sewer lines crack, sag and fill with roots.

- 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.
