Common Plumbing Problems in Hemet Homes
Hemet has 3 water providers. The city's Water Division serves 5.25 square miles in the center of town from 9 wells in the Hemet groundwater basin. Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District serve the other 22.45 square miles.
Pumping from the local basins is shared out under a court judgment entered in 2013, after decades of overdraft. The median Hemet home was built in 1984.
Plumbing Under a Manufactured Home
Supply and drain lines hang under the floor behind the skirting. A leak there soaks the insulation and belly wrap before you see anything inside. Soft flooring, a musty smell or a meter that turns with every tap off are the signs. Water heaters in these homes must be the type rated for manufactured housing.
Replacing a Water Heater in California
- The tank must be strapped or braced for earthquakes.
- The relief valve needs a drain line run to a safe spot.
- In a manufactured home, the replacement must be listed for that use.
- Ask the plumber who pulls the permit. See water heater replacement.
Slab Leaks
Copper under 1970s and 1980s slabs develops pinholes.
