Permits, licenses and your utility
California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check. Work that changes piping, like moving a fixture or replacing a water line, usually needs a permit from the City of Citrus Heights Building Division, and the plumber normally pulls it. Billing and water quality questions go to the Citrus Heights Water District, among others.
Most homes were built from the 1960s to the 1980s. Sunrise Mall opened in 1971. In short, water comes from the Citrus Heights Water District, among others, sewer service from Regional San, and permits come from the City of Citrus Heights Building Division. Electricity here comes from SMUD, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and gas from PG&E.
What Citrus Heights housing means for plumbing
Oak trees are common, and their roots can affect sewer lines. The city sits between Sacramento and Roseville.
Many homes have central air and gas furnaces. Original shutoff valves in mid-century homes are often stiff or seized, so it's worth having them exercised or replaced during other work. Winter tule fog is common.
Earthquake readiness matters for plumbing too: flexible connectors and a strapped water heater are part of many local code requirements. Rusch Park is a community park.
Get ready for the call
Let the plumber know if the building has a shared water line or a landlord who needs to approve work.
Know where your main shutoffs are before anyone arrives.

Common questions
Why is my water pressure low?
It can be a clogged aerator, a partly closed valve, a failing pressure regulator or old pipes narrowed by scale. If the whole house is low, check with your neighbors and the water utility first.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Use it sparingly, if at all. Harsh chemicals can damage older pipes and make the job riskier for the plumber who comes next. Tell them if you have already poured something in.
Which parts of Citrus Heights can you help with?
We look for independent pros across Citrus Heights, including Sylvan, Mariposa, Autumn and Stock Ranch, and ZIP codes 95610, 95621. If nobody's available, we'll tell you. If you're close to a ZIP code line, mention your cross street when you call.
Is there anything local about plumbing in Citrus Heights?
SMUD supplies electricity. Summer highs often top 95 degrees. Citrus Heights incorporated in 1997. Those details help the plumber plan the visit.
Can I replace a faucet myself?
Many people do. If the shutoff valves under the sink are stuck or leaking, though, that's a good time to bring in a plumber.
If you're renting in Citrus Heights, check your lease for who handles this repair.
