Common Plumbing Problems in Cameron Park Homes
It is an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, so there is no city government; water comes from a local district or company. El Dorado Irrigation District serves it from its eastern supplies, much of it Jenkinson Lake water treated near Pollock Pines.
In 2022 EID finished piping the Upper Main Ditch, an open canal that carried raw water to its Reservoir 1 plant, to cut bacteria and cloudiness before treatment. The median Cameron Park home was built in 1987.
Freezing Nights in the Foothills
- Cover outside faucets and backflow devices before cold nights.
- Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and garages.
- Let a faucet drip when the forecast is well below freezing.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Hillside Water Pressure
On Cameron Park's slopes, homes low in a pressure zone can see high pressure that wears out toilet fill valves, faucet cartridges and water heater relief valves early. A gauge on a hose bib shows the number; over 80 psi, a pressure-reducing valve protects the plumbing.
Water Heater Replacement
Homes from the 1980s and 1990s are on their second or third tank.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Cameron Park
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Cameron Park.
- Pressure. A failing pressure-reducing valve may need replacing too.
- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold night.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
