Plumbing in Fontana: what to know
Fontana changed almost overnight when Kaiser Steel opened its mill in 1942, and the city incorporated in 1952. A lot of central and south Fontana housing dates from those post-war decades - modest single-story homes with galvanized or early copper supply lines, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals, many now 60 to 80 years old.
Later master-planned communities like Sierra Lakes in the north and Southridge Village in the south are mostly copper or PEX on slab foundations. Water service is split among several providers by area, with Fontana Water Company serving most of the city, and the hard water across the area means scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures is a common problem in homes of every age.

Fontana plumbing FAQs
My Fontana house was built in the 1950s. What plumbing problems should I expect?+
Homes from that era commonly have galvanized supply pipes that corrode from the inside, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals that roots can get into. A sewer camera inspection and a look at your supply lines will show where things stand before a small problem becomes a backup or a leak.
How do I find out who my water provider is in Fontana?+
Fontana has several water providers, each serving a set area. Fontana Water Company serves most of the city, and your water bill will show your provider. The City of Fontana also has an online map that shows which agency serves your address.
Can you clear a main sewer line backup?+
Yes. We snake or hydro-jet the line to clear it, then run a camera through it so you can see what caused the blockage - roots, a break or buildup - and decide on a repair from there.
