Living Near the San Andreas Fault
Highland's biggest plumbing question is how to prepare for shaking.
- Fault proximity. The San Andreas fault runs through Highland.
- Gas risk. A broken gas line after a quake can feed a fire.
- Water heater risk. Unstrapped tanks fall and tear lines.
- Older versus newer. West side homes and east side communities have different weak points.
- Our approach. Plumbing that bends, shuts off and stays put.
West Side Homes and East Side Communities
West Highland
- Age. 1960s through the 1980s.
- Pipes. Copper, some galvanized, and slab foundations in places.
- Common calls. Pinhole leaks, old heaters and slow drains.
East Highland Planned Communities
- Age. 1990s and 2000s.
- Pipes. PEX and copper, with tankless units in many homes.
- Common calls. Scale in tankless heaters, fixture leaks and gas appliance lines.
