What Irvine housing means for plumbing
Homeowners associations in many villages have rules about exterior work, so check before replacing a roof or garage door. Irvine was planned on the old Irvine Ranch and incorporated as a city in December 1971.
The Irvine Ranch Water District runs a dual system with separate pipes for drinking water and recycled water. Homes built on concrete slabs have supply lines running under or through the slab, and a slab leak often shows up first as a warm spot on the floor or a meter that keeps spinning.
Dry years mean watering limits and a lot of interest in low-flow fixtures. Hard water is also common, and mineral scale can shorten the life of valves and faucets. The University of California, Irvine opened in 1965, before the city existed.
Local rules before you book
California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check. Before a plumber opens a wall or digs up a yard, ask what they expect to find, what could change the plan, and whether the work will need a permit from the Irvine Community Development Department.

Common questions
Is my neighborhood in Irvine covered?
Yes, as long as a pro is free. Irvine ZIP codes 92602, 92603, 92604, 92606, 92612 and others are in range, and that includes Turtle Rock, Westpark, Great Park and Portola Springs.
Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?
If it is only the hot water, the water heater's anode rod is a common cause. If cold water smells too, call the water utility and ask a plumber to check the lines.
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.
What does a camera inspection show?
A small camera on a cable runs through the drain and shows cracks, roots, sagging pipe or buildup. It helps decide between cleaning a line and repairing it.
A clear description and a couple of photos go a long way toward a quick and accurate answer.
