Orange County
Brea takes its name from the Spanish word for tar, tied to the oil seeps that once dotted the surrounding hills and fueled the city's early-1900s oil boom, and its historic downtown core predates the newer development around the Brea Mall and Birch Street shopping district.
The Moreno Family, a Brea Mall Area, Brea homeowner, had been living with a water bill that had crept up for two billing cycles with no clear reason for weeks before calling us. Brea's historic downtown, tied to the city's early-1900s oil boom, has plumbing considerably older than the newer development around the Brea Mall retail corridor. What could have meant a much bigger job instead only needed one targeted repair.

Learn more about Main Water Line Repair & Replacement →“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
“Good experience overall, technician was knowledgeable and thorough. Took a little longer than expected but they were clearly being careful about pinpointing the exact spot before marking it.”
“Old Victorian with plaster walls everywhere, so I was dreading this. They used thermal imaging and found the leak behind one wall panel instead of opening up the whole room. Saved us a big repair bill.”
“Ground near our garage had been soft for a while. Turned out to be the main line. They marked the exact dig spot and our plumber only had to open a two-foot section instead of the whole path.”
