Plumbing in Brea: what to know
Brea grew up around the Brea-Olinda oil field and incorporated in 1917, and the oldest homes in town date from those oil-boom years. Its biggest growth came after World War II, when the population went from about 3,200 in 1950 to more than 18,000 by 1970. Those older and mid-century homes commonly have galvanized or early copper supply lines, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals.
The 57 Freeway and the Brea Mall in the 1970s brought another wave of building, including large planned neighborhoods east of the freeway through the 2000s, and Olinda Ranch in the hills was built in the early 2000s. Those homes are mostly copper or PEX on slab foundations. The City of Brea runs its own water division, which serves most of the city with imported and local groundwater supplies.

Brea plumbing FAQs
My Brea home was built in the 1950s or 60s. What should I have checked?+
Homes from that era often have galvanized supply pipes that corrode from the inside, plus cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals that roots can get into. Checking your supply lines and running a camera through the sewer lateral will show what needs attention before it turns into a leak or a backup.
