Plumber in South Cerritos, CA

The southern Cerritos neighborhoods near the Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens borders include some of the city’s earliest 1960s construction. Copper supply lines approaching 60 years of age, Central Basin hard water, and slab-on-grade foundations make this area an active zone for slab leak and repipe calls.

Plumbing in South Cerritos neighborhoods

South Cerritos encompasses the residential streets south of Del Amo Boulevard and 183rd Street, running to the city borders with Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens. This part of Cerritos includes some of the earliest residential development in the city, with homes from the early 1960s that are now approaching 60 years of age. The copper supply lines in these homes have had the longest exposure to Cerritos’s hard groundwater of any homes in the city, and the slab leak call frequency reflects that age.

The streets adjacent to the Artesia city limit transition almost imperceptibly between the two cities in some blocks. Pioneer Boulevard, which continues south into Artesia as the “Little India” commercial corridor, passes through the South Cerritos zone before crossing into Artesia proper. The Don Knabe Community Regional Park near the southern edge of the city provides green space and a community gathering point for South Cerritos residents.

Pool ownership is significant in South Cerritos, as it is throughout Cerritos; roughly 25 to 35 percent of single-family homes have pools. Pool leak detection, in addition to the standard slab leak and water heater service calls, is a consistent part of the South Cerritos service mix.
