The Quality & Integrity You Expect

About 20 minutes out. The same 1960s and 70s housing stock as Fair Oaks and Carmichael.

What's actually under these houses.

The housing stock here is old enough that it changes the job before we ever knock on the door.

Citrus Heights incorporated as its own city in 1997, but the housing itself is older, mostly built between the late 1950s and mid-1970s during the same suburban expansion that shaped Fair Oaks and Carmichael. Clay sewer laterals, cast-iron transitions, and galvanized supply lines are all common here, and by now most of that infrastructure is well past its expected service life.

The Sunrise Mall corridor and the neighborhoods around Sylvan Corners tend to be the oldest pockets we work in. Homes near the Antelope border, built a bit later in the 1970s and 80s, hold up slightly better but are approaching the same age threshold now too.

The city. Citrus Heights has been its own incorporated city since 1997, so permits route through the City of Citrus Heights Building Division rather than Sacramento County. Some homeowners still expect to call the county out of habit; we handle the city paperwork directly either way.

Recent work in Citrus Heights.

Three jobs from the last few months, close to home in the most literal sense.

A new tankless water heater mounted on an interior wall, lines dressed and labeled

Camera inspection · near Sylvan Corners

A cast-iron transition, corroded thin, caught before it failed outright.

A routine pre-sale inspection turned up a cast-iron transition section that had corroded to less than half its original wall thickness. It hadn't failed yet, but it was close. We recommended a targeted section replacement rather than a full lateral job, since the clay pipe on either side tested sound.

Tankless install · a Sunrise Mall-area home

A forty-year-old tank finally replaced with something built for the water here.

The original tank was original to the house, installed sometime in the early 1980s and running on borrowed time. We sized a tankless unit for Sacramento's hard water from the start, with the descaling schedule set before we left. Tankless installs are quoted in writing after a free estimate here.

Drain cleaning · a property near the Antelope border

Grease and scale, cleared without a camera since the pattern was clear.

A kitchen line slow enough to back up during dishwashing turned out to be a straightforward grease buildup, no root intrusion, no offset joint. We cleared it in one visit and gave the homeowner a heads-up on what to watch for before it's worth a camera.

What Citrus Heights says.

They caught a corroded pipe section before it became an emergency. Genuinely thankful for that.

Our water heater was older than some of our neighbors' kids. Long overdue, and they made it painless.
