Plumber in Chollas View

Chollas View is a neighborhood in southeastern San Diego, between State Route 94 to the north, Euclid Avenue and Emerald Hills to the east, and Lincoln Park and the trolley line to the south. It is named for the cholla cacti that once covered the land. Holy Cross Cemetery opened here in 1919; a wartime defense housing project was built during World War II, and homes spread around it through the 1950s.

What that means for your plumbing: houses from the 1940s and 1950s were typically plumbed with galvanized steel supply pipe, which narrows with corrosion over the decades. Weak pressure at several fixtures, rust-colored water or pinhole leaks are the usual signs, and a PEX repipe is often more cost-effective than chasing one leak after another.
