Menifee includes Sun City's established homes from the 1960s and 1970s alongside many newer tracts built since the 2000s. Older plumbing and brand-new construction each bring their own leak patterns.
Common leaks in Menifee homes
- Older homes in Sun City. Aging pipes, supply lines and shutoff valves that haven't been turned in years. Exercise valves gently and replace any that won't close.
- New-construction issues. In newer homes, watch for loose fittings and appliance connections in the first few years.
- Water heaters. Tanks from the first wave of newer tracts are reaching replacement age.
- Hard water. Scale builds up in heaters and fixtures.
