Why Hesperia homes need these repairs

Hesperia is a High Desert city of mostly owner-occupied homes on large lots, built largely from the 1980s on, next to Victorville. The Hesperia Water District pumps all of its drinking water from local wells, so hard water is the rule. Hot summer days, freezing winter nights and strong winds, together with aging slab plumbing and septic systems on outlying lots, drive most of the frozen pipe, water heater and slab leak calls here.
