What To Do Before the Plumber Arrives

  • Stop the water. Close the main shutoff, then open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain the lines.
  • Cut the power to wet areas. Keep away from outlets and appliances sitting in water.
  • Smell gas? Get everyone out first, then call your gas company or 911 from outside.
  • Take photos. They help with insurance and show the plumber what happened.

Common Plumbing Problems in San Luis Obispo

Well water, hills and older homes shape most jobs here. Half of the homes in San Luis Obispo were built before about 1976. That era means mostly copper supply lines and plastic drains. Some homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s used polybutylene pipe, which has a history of failing and is worth checking for. Most homes here are rentals, so tenants should tell their landlord right away, but shut off the water first if it's actively leaking.

  • Long water and sewer runs on hillside lots are more exposed to soil movement and root damage.
  • Older town centers still have original galvanized water lines and clay sewer laterals.
  • Plenty of properties run on well water with heavy mineral content, which clogs fixtures and shortens water heater life.
