Directly bordering Upland to the west across Mills Avenue, Claremont is a historic college city of approximately 37,000 residents known as 'The City of Trees and PhDs'. Home to the world-renowned Claremont Colleges, Claremont features beautifully preserved architectural districts, including 1910s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish colonial revivals, and mid-century modern residences nestled beneath a massive canopy of heritage oak and eucalyptus trees. Plumbing here demands deep respect for historic preservation, vintage fixtures, and mature tree roots. Dispatched right across the county line from Benson Ave, our team delivers expert plumbing care for Claremont homes and rental properties.
Claremont's majestic eucalyptus, camphor, and live oak trees create an exceptional streetscape, but their extensive root systems aggressively seek moisture in underground sewer pipes. In pre-1970 homes with clay laterals, roots penetrate mortar joints and cause recurrent backups. We use optical camera scoping to pinpoint root penetration and deploy high-pressure hydro jetting or trenchless pipe bursting to replace old clay lines without damaging mature street trees.
Upgrading plumbing in an authentic 1920s Craftsman bungalow requires specialized care. We utilize rear-access techniques through closets and crawlspaces to replace leaking shower valves without cutting into original handcrafted mud-set tile. When repiping, we run flexible Uponor PEX-a lines through existing framing voids, leaving original plaster walls intact.
