When to call, and what to do first

For the problems Fairfield homeowners call about most, and why they come up here:

• Slab Leak Repair

  Why it comes up in Fairfield: Slab homes from the 1970s–90s develop under-floor leaks.

  Signs:

  Warm floor spots, sound of running water, a spinning meter

  Urgent when:

  Water surfacing through the floor or a large bill jump

  Before help arrives:

  Close the main shutoff if water is visible

  Repair or replace:

  One leak: spot repair. Repeated leaks: reroute the lines

• Water Heater Replacement

  Why it comes up in Fairfield: Garage tanks wear out in hot inland summers.

  Signs:

  Water around the tank base, rusty hot water, a tank past 10 years

  Urgent when:

  The tank itself is leaking

  Before help arrives:

  Turn off gas or power and close the cold-water valve

  Repair or replace:

  Leaking tank: replace. Failed part on a younger tank: repair

• Repiping

  Why it comes up in Fairfield: Repeated pinhole leaks in aging copper make a repipe worthwhile.

  Signs:

  Rusty water, falling pressure, repeated pinhole leaks

  Leaks keep recurring in different places

  Before help arrives:

  Note where leaks and rust appear; check the pipe at the water heater

  Repair or replace:

Why Fairfield homes need these repairs

Fairfield, California is the Solano County seat next to Travis Air Force Base, with many 1970s–2000s homes. The city treats Lake Berryessa and State Water Project water at two plants, and hot inland summers, slab foundations and aging copper drive water heater and slab leak calls.
