Redlands History Under the Ground
A city with this much history has a lot going on below the lawns.
- Citrus roots: The first orange grove here was planted in 1882, and for about 75 years Redlands sat at the center of the world's largest navel orange region.
- An 1888 city: Redlands incorporated in 1888, and some homes from that era still stand.
- Victorian showpieces: The Morey Mansion and Kimberly Crest date to the 1890s, and the Smiley Park Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Local landmarks: The A.K. Smiley Public Library, the Redlands Bowl and the University of Redlands, founded in 1907, give the city its character.
- Old streetcar routes: Orange, Olive and Citrus Avenues once carried streetcars, and many older homes line them today.
Redlands Houses, Old and New
Pipe type and condition depend on when the home was built.
Historic Homes
Homes from the 1890s through the 1920s often have clay laterals running under big trees. Roots find the joints, and the pipe can crack or settle after a century in the ground.
Mid Century and Newer Tracts
Homes built from the 1960s on tend to have cast iron or plastic drains. Clogs there are more often grease, hair or scale than failing pipe.
- Kitchen lines in these homes clog after big meals.
- Showers slow down as hair builds up on hard water scale.
Why Digging Needs Care
- Historic homes may have mature landscaping, old walkways and features owners want to keep.
- Big trees over the line make trenching risky for the tree.
- Trenchless repair is often the better choice for these properties.
