Plumbing advice for Joshua Tree homeowners
Joshua Tree's desert homes and short-term rentals run on wells with heat-stressed supply, so reliability is everything — especially for hosts. A preventive check of the water heater, supply lines, and any treatment between guests prevents the mid-stay failures that generate bad reviews and emergency calls.
For treatment, size a softener or filtration to a real water assessment rather than guessing; desert well water varies a lot property to property. And know your shut-off — a leak in an unoccupied rental can run until the next guest finds it.
