Rancho Bernardo master-plan stock from the 1960s-90s sits deep in the prime slab-leak window, under-slab copper failing on pinhole corrosion across Westwood, Oaks North, Bernardo Heights, and Seven Oaks. Plus older polybutylene supply on a subset of homes from the original build adds full-pressure burst emergencies to the mix..

Should I call a plumber or you first?
