What we do

What this service includes

One fixture or the whole house?

A weak faucet may need an aerator, cartridge, supply-line, or shutoff repair. Low flow throughout the home can involve the main valve, pressure regulator, leak, old piping, or incoming supply. We compare fixtures before recommending work.

Static and working-pressure measurements

We measure pressure with fixtures off and while water is moving. That comparison can expose a weak regulator, restriction, partially closed valve, undersized line, or pressure drop that a single gauge reading would miss.

Pressure regulator inspection and replacement

A failed regulator can cause high, low, or unstable pressure and may shorten the life of fixtures and appliances. Corona Utilities places the property regulator under the owner's responsibility. Citrusline can inspect, adjust when serviceable, and replace the regulator when needed.

Banging, whistling, and moving pipes

Water hammer, high pressure, loose pipe supports, fast-closing valves, restrictions, and equipment can all make plumbing noisy. We reproduce the sound when possible, measure pressure, and identify the repair instead of masking the symptom.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Why is water flow low at only one fixture?

The aerator, cartridge, supply line, shutoff, debris, or that fixture's branch line may be restricting flow. If nearby fixtures are normal, the problem is probably local.

What causes water pressure to change throughout a house?

A failed regulator, partially closed valve, incoming-supply change, leak, restriction, aging pipe, or heavy simultaneous demand can change pressure throughout a home.

Who handles a residential pressure regulator in Corona?

Corona Utilities says the property owner is responsible for replacing the pressure regulator. Citrusline checks the regulator and the rest of the supply system before recommending replacement.

What should I record about banging or moving pipes?

Note which fixture or appliance triggers the sound and whether it happens when water starts or stops. Water hammer, high pressure, loose piping, and worn valves are common causes.
