Common Plumbing Problems in Orangevale Homes
It is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County, so there is no city government; water comes from a local district or company. Orange Vale Water Company buys all of its water from San Juan Water District, which treats Folsom Lake water at the Sidney N. Peterson plant and delivers it by gravity.
The company does not currently pump its own groundwater. The median Orangevale home was built in 1976.
Leaks on a Long Service Line
Many Orangevale homes sit well back from the street, so the water line from the meter to the house can run a long way underground. A leak there may show up as a soggy patch of yard, a meter that never stops or low pressure. Close the main shutoff, then call for leak detection to find the spot before digging.
All Lake Water
Orangevale's water is all treated Folsom Lake water, which tends to be soft and low in minerals. Scale is rarely the issue; age is what wears out tanks and fittings here. State law requires a replacement water heater to be strapped against earthquakes. See water heater replacement.
Water Heater Replacement
Homes from the 1960s and 1970s are on their third or fourth tank.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Orangevale
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Orangevale.
- Long service lines. Finding and reaching a buried leak takes longer on big lots.
- 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.
