Commercial Plumbing in Wildomar, CA

What happens when you call

You'll reach a free referral service, not a plumbing company, which connects you with an independent plumber who takes commercial jobs in Wildomar. Explain the type of business, the issue, and whether there's an EVMWD backflow notice or deadline involved. If the work has to wait until after closing, say so up front.

Cost factors

• Number and size of backflow assemblies on the property
• Drain jetting or camera work on main lines
• Water heater size and any permit needed for replacement
• After-hours scheduling
• Parcel size and the distance from the meter to the building

Local conditions in Wildomar

Wildomar is a young city, incorporated in 2008, stretched along I-15 between Lake Elsinore and Murrieta, with businesses on Clinton Keith Road, Bundy Canyon Road and Mission Trail and the Inland Valley Medical Center among its landmarks. The City names EVMWD as its water and sewer provider, including wastewater treatment and disposal.

EVMWD's state-required Cross-Connection Control Program is clear about commercial properties. New commercial, industrial and landscape services get a backflow device installed immediately after the meter. Devices belong to the customer, who maintains them. They must be tested at installation and annually by a County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health certified tester, and a device that fails must be repaired and retested within 15 days. EVMWD's Water Protection Department is at (951) 625-3404, and its main line is (951) 674-3146. EVMWD also states that once water passes the meter, preventing contamination is the owner's responsibility.

Building permits are filed through the City's online Customer Requests portal; City Hall is at 23873 Clinton Keith Road, Suite 110, (951) 677-7751. Gas is SoCalGas. If staff smell gas, evacuate first, then call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from outside.

Checklist before the plumber arrives

• Have the EVMWD account number and any backflow notices
• Unlock backflow cages, mechanical rooms and cleanouts
• Warn staff and tenants about a possible shutoff
• List affected fixtures and when the problem started
• Have past backflow test results ready, since a failed device starts a 15-day clock

Medical offices, restaurants and other higher-use buildings may also want a standing maintenance schedule, so annual tests and drain service land on predictable dates.
