Residents call (831) 290-4327 because block after block of Citrus Heights was built in a tight window, meaning the plumbing problems repeat in predictable ways. We've fixed enough of these same-era slab leaks and galvanized lines to know exactly where to look first.
Postwar tract construction and its two signature failures
Most of Citrus Heights went up during the 1950s through 70s tract-housing boom, and the vast majority of homes sit on concrete slab foundations with copper supply lines run through or under that slab. Decades of soil movement and pinhole corrosion mean slab leaks are one of the most common calls we get in this city, often showing up first as a warm spot on the floor or an unexplained water bill spike.
The other recurring issue is original galvanized steel piping, still present in a meaningful share of homes that haven't been updated since construction. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, gradually restricting flow and discoloring water, and the long-term fix is a full or partial repipe to PEX or copper rather than chasing leaks one at a time as the old pipe fails.
Fast, block-by-block familiarity across the city
We've run service calls throughout Citrus Heights near Sunrise Mall, along the Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard corridors, and out toward Antelope Road, where the tract layouts repeat enough that we often know a home's plumbing generation before we walk in.
A common job is a homeowner near Auburn Boulevard reporting low pressure and rust-colored water at every fixture, which nine times out of ten in a home this age points to failing galvanized pipe rather than a single bad valve. We confirm it, scope the extent, and lay out a repipe plan section by section so the family isn't without water for days. Slab leak calls get the same direct treatment: locate it precisely, then fix it without tearing up more floor than necessary.
Apartment and Multi-Family Plumbing Along the Corridor Streets
Citrus Heights has a higher share of apartment and multi-family complexes than many neighboring suburbs, especially along the Auburn Boulevard and Antelope Road corridors, and that work comes with property-manager coordination, multiple-unit water shutoffs, and code requirements a single-family remodel doesn't touch. We handle multi-unit calls with that coordination built in, not as an afterthought.
Backflow prevention testing is also a recurring need here, both for irrigation systems on commercial landscaping near Sunrise Mall and for older properties where a cross-connection hazard was never addressed when the building went up. We test and certify these devices so property owners and managers stay compliant with the water provider's requirements.
