Five-minute direct dispatch down Watt Avenue from our Elverta Rd facility
North Highlands is an unincorporated Census-Designated Place (CDP) in northern Sacramento County, home to approximately 49,300 residents. Located immediately south of Antelope, North Highlands extends between Elkhorn Boulevard on the north, Interstate 80 on the east, Roseville Road on the west, and Myrtle Avenue along the southern perimeter.
Our shop at 4320 Elverta Rd sits just two to three miles north of the community. A technician traveling south down Watt Avenue or Walerga Road arrives at North Highlands homes in five to eight minutes.
Developed rapidly during the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s to support personnel working at the neighboring McClellan Air Force Base, North Highlands contains thousands of single-story postwar ranch tract homes. The plumbing infrastructure in these homes is now reaching 65 to 75 years of age, presenting predictable failure points that require experienced trade intervention.
McClellan Air Force Base postwar housing and aging galvanized infrastructure
The vast majority of North Highlands homes feature concrete slab-on-grade foundations or shallow stem-wall crawlspaces. Original construction utilized threaded galvanized steel pipes for domestic water supply and cast-iron bell-and-spigot pipes for interior drain stacks and sewer laterals.
Galvanized steel pipes corrode internally over decades of mineral exposure. As iron rust accumulates inside the pipe, the interior opening constricts from a half-inch down to the diameter of a pencil tip. This creates chronic low water pressure, rust flakes in faucet aerators, and pinhole leaks inside wall cavities.
Domestic water in North Highlands is supplied by the Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) North Service Area, while residential sewer collection is managed by the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SacSewer). All plumbing permits are issued and inspected by the Sacramento County Building Inspection Division.
