Plumbing for Horsetown USA
Norco is a different kind of town. It's got big lots, horse property and long runs of pipe between the street and the house. Rooter Warrior Plumbing & Drain Cleaning serves homes and businesses across Norco's ZIP code, 92860, from Norco Hills and Norco Ridge Ranch to Hidden Valley and the SilverLakes area. We're veteran- and family-owned, based on Third Street in Riverside, about 18 road miles from Norco City Hall.
Norco's water
The City of Norco runs its own water utility. Most of its water is treated groundwater bought from the Arlington and Chino desalters and the City of Riverside, plus water from Norco's own wells. The city's 2025 water quality report shows an average hardness of 123 mg/L, with a range of 50 to 210. That's just inside the hard range on the U.S. Geological Survey's scale, and enough to leave scale in water heaters and on fixtures over time. Flushing your water heater and adding water treatment both help.
Older homes and septic history
Norco is one of the older cities in the area. Its median home was built in 1975, and about two-thirds of its homes were built before 1980, according to Census data. Original water heaters, valves and supply lines in homes that age are well past their prime. So are long water service lines that run across a big lot. Low pressure, a soggy patch in the yard or a high water bill can all mean a leak on your side of the meter. See leak detection and water line repair.
Norco also has a long history with septic systems. A 1985 city ordinance noted that about half the city's homes were on septic at the time. Today the city has rules for connecting homes to the sewer, including pumping and filling the old tank. If you're connecting to the sewer, or your sewer line keeps backing up, we can camera-inspect the line and explain what's going on. See sewer line service.
