Water heater losses around North Park, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and National City often tie to pinhole copper and drain backups are the volume drivers. Closet and garage installs in 1950s-80s stock with copper supply and cast-iron drains create tight footprints that still wick far, especially when moderate humidity with older envelopes that hide moisture slows drying.
In Bay Park, under-slab copper pinholes and garage water-heater or washing-machine supply failures drive most emergency calls.
- Tank corrosion failure versus fitting or T&P discharge

- Garage slab leaks that look small but wet a wide footprint
- Expansion pan that overflowed because the drain line was clogged
- Old galvanized nipples and flex connectors as leak points
