Chula Vista homes and what they need
Old CV slab-leak work in the 60s-70s tract follows the standard sequence, leak detection with a plumber partner, concrete saw-cutting for slab access, source repair, dry-out, mold remediation when needed, reconstruction.
Chula Vista splits sharply between Old Chula Vista 1950s-70s stock on aging copper and the East Chula Vista master-plan communities (EastLake, Otay Ranch, Rancho Del Rey) built 1990s-2020s on PEX with modern shutoffs. Old CV runs slab leaks and Cat 2 backups; East CV runs newer-construction appliance and supply-line failures.
