Know your Rancho Cordova house
The American River Parkway runs along the north edge. Summer highs often top 95 degrees.
Most homes sit on slab foundations. In many ranch and split-level homes the water heater, washer and laundry sink sit in a basement or garage, so a slow leak can go unnoticed for weeks. Anatolia and Sunridge are newer neighborhoods south of Douglas Road.
Earthquake readiness matters for plumbing too: flexible connectors and a strapped water heater are part of many local code requirements. SMUD, a publicly owned utility, supplies electricity.
Local rules to know
California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check. If a leak is on the street side of the meter, call Golden State Water or the Sacramento County Water Agency, depending on the area first, since that section usually belongs to the utility. Leaks on your side are typically the owner's job.
Permit questions go to the City of Rancho Cordova Building and Safety Division. Older parts of Rancho Cordova get water from Golden State Water, a private company, and newer areas from the Sacramento County Water Agency. Electricity here comes from SMUD, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and gas from PG&E. Rancho Cordova incorporated in 2003. Mather Air Force Base closed in 1993 and is now Mather Airport.

Quick answers
Is one slow drain worth a call?
One slow drain can often be cleared with a plunger or by cleaning the trap. Several slow or gurgling drains at once point to a problem further down the line.
My toilet keeps running. Is that urgent?
Not usually, but it wastes water and raises the bill. A worn flapper or fill valve is the usual cause, and it's a quick repair.

What should a plumber know about homes in Rancho Cordova?
Aerojet has had a rocket plant here since the 1950s. Many homes near Folsom Boulevard date from the 1950s and 1960s. Tule fog is common on winter mornings. Mention your street and the age of the house when you call.
Do I need to be home for the plumber?
Usually, yes, or someone who can let them in and answer questions. Renters should also check whether the landlord needs to approve the visit first.
