Common Plumbing Problems in Lemon Hill Homes
It is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County with no city government. Several water providers serve this part of the county, so check your bill or the county's Find My Water Company lookup to see who serves your address.
The median Lemon Hill home was built in 1964.
When the Main Sewer Line Backs Up
- Water comes up in the tub or shower when the toilet flushes.
- Several drains are slow at once, worst at the lowest fixtures.
- Gurgling from drains when the washer empties.
- Stop using water and call for drain cleaning. If it keeps coming back, a sewer camera inspection shows why.
Who Owns What
Your water provider owns the meter and the line up to it. From the meter to the house, and the sewer line from the house to the street connection, are usually the owner's responsibility. Check with the provider on your bill if you are unsure where the line changes hands.
Old Pipe
Homes from the 1950s and early 1960s can have galvanized water lines and cast iron or clay sewer pipe.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Lemon Hill
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Lemon Hill.
- Sewer line condition. A cracked or sagging lateral changes the job from cleaning to repair.
- Old pipe. Galvanized lines rarely take a clean patch.
- 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.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
