Common Plumbing Problems in Citrus Heights Homes
Citrus Heights is served by 3 water providers: Citrus Heights Water District, California American Water and Sacramento Suburban Water District. Citrus Heights Water District buys treated Folsom Lake water through San Juan Water District and adds groundwater from its own wells.
The median Citrus Heights home was built in 1977.
Lake Water Plus Wells
Citrus Heights Water District relies mainly on Folsom Lake water, treated by San Juan Water District, and uses its own wells as a supplement. Groundwater is usually harder than lake water, so you may notice more spots on glass in dry years when wells run more. Flushing the water heater yearly handles most of it. See water heater replacement.
Finding a Slab Leak
- Turn off every fixture and watch the meter.
- Feel the floors for a warm strip.
- Listen for running water near walls.
- Close the main shutoff and call for slab leak repair.
Water Heater Replacement
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s are on their third tank.

- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
