TRUSTED IN FONTANA FOR OVER 20 YEARS

Plumbing in Fontana CA

Residents in the Action City frequently contend with expansive clay soils that undergo intense "shrink-swell" cycles during our seasonal wet and dry periods. This constant ground movement, combined with the extreme Santa Ana winds that dry out the earth rapidly, puts immense pressure on concrete foundations and can lead to sheared underground pipes or elusive slab leaks.

Furthermore, Fontana’s hard water, documented at approximately 147.6 mg/L, creates a persistent battle against mineral scaling that can clog fixtures and significantly shorten the lifespan of traditional and tankless water heaters.

EXPERT PLUMBING ADVICE

Common Questions from Fontana Property Owners

What are the warning signs of a slab leak under my home?

Common indicators include a sudden spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when all faucets are off, or unusually warm spots on your floor. In Fontana’s expansive soil, these leaks often occur when shifting ground puts stress on the pipes encased within your concrete foundation.


Why does hard water damage my tankless water heater?

Fontana’s hard water contains minerals that form a "concrete-hard" limescale buildup when heated. This scale coats the heat exchanger, forcing the unit to work harder and use more energy. Regular professional descaling is essential to prevent system overheating and premature failure.


How do the Santa Ana winds affect my plumbing?

Extreme winds dry out the soil around your foundation rapidly, causing it to contract and pull away from your pipes. This movement can trigger fractures in already stressed lines. Additionally, wind-blown debris can clog outdoor drains and vents, leading to unexpected drainage issues.


Is a permit required for a water heater replacement in Fontana?

Yes, the City of Fontana Department of Building & Safety requires permits for water heater installations to ensure they meet current safety and seismic bracing codes. Working with a licensed professional ensures all work is permitted and inspected correctly.

Absolutely. Bernal’s Plumbing serves the entire Fontana area, including the Southwest Industrial Park and neighborhoods near the Speedway. We optimize our dispatching to navigate local traffic during major events, ensuring prompt and reliable service for our neighbors.
