Serving Tustin

Tustin lies between Irvine and Orange, two of our 10 Orange County locations, and shares its other borders with Santa Ana and North Tustin. Day or night a person takes your call, and the plumber sets off from whichever of our locations is nearest your door, whether you live in Old Town Tustin, on a Tustin Ranch street or in a new home on the old base at Tustin Legacy. Each of those parts of town brings its own kind of plumbing.

With a median year built of 1983, Tustin sits right at the line between older and newer Orange County. The census counts 28,482 housing units, and 47 percent of them were built before 1980. Only 34 percent are single-family detached houses, which makes condos, townhomes and apartments the most common homes in the city, and in those buildings a leak or a clog can involve the unit next door as well as your own.

Old Town Tustin has the oldest homes, and their pipe has had generations to narrow, corrode or crack. Tustin Ranch, built through the 1980s and 1990s, is now old enough that original water heaters, shutoff valves and supply lines are reaching the end of their life, with hard water wearing on every one of them. Tustin Legacy, built on the former Marine Corps Air Station, is the newest, so the work there centers on fixtures and equipment.

The City of Tustin issues a permit for each water heater change, repipe, lateral repair and gas line job. We pull it, the gas work is pressure tested, and the job is inspected before the permit is closed. In condo and townhome buildings, part of the piping may be shared with neighbors, so the plumber pins down where the problem sits before anything is opened, and nothing proceeds until you have signed off on the written price.

Tustin sits next to Irvine, North Tustin, Santa Ana and Orange, all of which we serve as well. The plumber heads out from whichever of our locations is nearest. Someone picks up the phone day and night, the cause is found before anything gets opened up, and the price is settled in writing before the job begins.

Local housing

Tustin homes, by the numbers

  • 1983Median build year
  • 47%Pre-1980 homes
  • 34%Detached single-family
  • 28,482Total homes

Older-than-1980 homes make up 47% of Tustin. The bulk of the city was built during the 1980s and after, plumbed in copper or PEX for water and ABS plastic for drains, which roots seldom break into. Calls here lean toward water heaters, fixtures and leaks under slab floors, not pipe worn out by age.

Single-family detached houses are just 34% of Tustin homes. Most people live in condos, townhomes or apartments that share drain stacks and sewer lines, so when a drain backs up the blockage may be in piping the building or the HOA owns, and that owner has to be part of the repair.

Questions

Tustin plumbing questions

Is my Tustin ZIP code, 92780 or 92782, in your area?
Both are. Whether your address is in 92780 or 92782, from Old Town to the Legacy neighborhoods on the former air station, our 24-hour emergency response applies, with the phone answered on holidays too.
Do you take care of Tustin permits, or do I?
We do. Changing a water heater, repiping, working on a sewer lateral or altering gas piping in the city all need a permit from the City of Tustin. We file the application, schedule the inspection and close the permit when the work passes, so the paperwork stays off your desk.
Our house is in Old Town Tustin. Is the original plumbing still in there?
It may be. The oldest homes in Tustin are in Old Town, and some still carry galvanized water lines and cast iron or clay drains. A camera look at the sewer line and a pressure check at the far fixtures show what is left, and you get the repair price in writing.

Close the main shutoff first: on many Peninsula and Balboa Island homes it sits by the meter or off the alley. Then call us and stay on the phone, and we will help you limit the damage before the plumber gets to your door.
