Fontana lies east of Rancho Cucamonga along Foothill Boulevard, which was Historic Route 66 through this whole stretch, the same road Upland sits on. It is the second-largest city in San Bernardino County with more than 200,000 residents, and Henry Kaiser's steel mill in the 1940s is what turned a farming community into an industrial town.
From our Upland base, Fontana is a drive east on Foothill Boulevard or the 210 Freeway, and our 24/7 line dispatches there every day. Because the city is so large, the first thing we ask is which neighborhood you are calling from.
What To Know Before You Call
A Big City, Not One Neighborhood
Fontana's older core and its newer master-planned neighborhoods are decades apart in age, so the plumbing, and the right fix, depends on where in the city you are.
24/7 Emergency Dispatch
Fontana is a drive east on Foothill Boulevard or the 210 Freeway from our Upland base, and our 24/7 line dispatches there every day of the year.
Downtown Fontana, Sierra Avenue, And Foothill Boulevard
The older core around downtown Fontana, Sierra Avenue, and Foothill Boulevard includes housing from the decades after the Kaiser Steel mill opened. Older homes bring the familiar problems: galvanized supply lines closing up with scale, cast iron drains that crack, and water heaters well past their expected life, and for some of them a full repipe costs less than a string of point repairs.
Kaiser Permanente's Fontana Medical Center is one of the city's major employers, and the medical offices, shops, and small businesses around it bring steady commercial calls alongside the residential ones.
Rusty Water After Sitting

Water Heater Past 10 Years
Worth replacing on your schedule instead of during an outage.
Southridge, Sierra Lakes, And The Master-Planned Neighborhoods
Much of Fontana's growth has come in newer master-planned neighborhoods such as Southridge and Sierra Lakes. Calls from those homes are mostly water heater replacements, softener installs, and fixture work, and because the homes are newer, an early-failure part may still be under a manufacturer or builder warranty, so we note what we find.
Why Distance Matters In A City This Big
Fontana is crossed by the 10, the 210, and the 15 freeways, with the Jurupa Hills on the south edge and the San Gabriel Mountains framing the north. A drive from one end of the city to the other is a real trip. For emergencies we dispatch directly instead of batching calls.
For scheduled work we will tell you honestly when a specific address would be easier to book for another day. All work in Fontana follows the California Plumbing Code (UPC).
