Spring Valley homes and what they need
For older single-family losses, the work concentrates on identifying slow source failures behind walls, Cat 2 backup containment and cleanup, and the standard older-construction demolition and reconstruction sequence.
Spring Valley runs older 1950s-70s single-family stock on aging copper and galvanized supply, plus 1980s-90s tract through the Casa de Oro adjacency and the hillside neighborhoods now in prime slab-leak window. Cat 2 backups on aging cast-iron drains drive a steady portion of the residential volume.
