Why Victorville homes need these repairs

Victorville is a High Desert city that grew fast from the 1980s on, with mostly slab-on-grade tract homes. All of its drinking water is groundwater from the Mojave River basin, and hot days, freezing nights, wind and hard water drive frozen pipe, water heater and slab leak calls.
