Trusted solutions from skilled local experts.
Plumber Citrus Heights, CA
A clogged kitchen drain on a weeknight, a water heater that gives out halfway through the morning, a toilet that won’t stop running. Plumbing problems rarely show up at a good time, and the longer they sit, the more they usually cost to fix. Armstrong Plumbing has been working on Sacramento-area homes since 1964, and Citrus Heights has been part of our regular territory for decades. We’re woman-owned and locally run, and our technicians don’t earn commission on what they recommend.
When you call a plumber in Citrus Heights, CA from our team, you’ll get an honest explanation of the problem, a flat-rate price before any work starts, and a repair that’s built to hold up.

Our Citrus Heights Plumbing Services
Citrus Heights Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair
A water bill that jumps for no clear reason, a warm patch on the floor, or the sound of running water when every tap is off can all point to a hidden leak. Our Citrus Heights leak detection technicians use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to track down leaks inside walls, under floors, and beneath concrete slabs without opening up your house to go looking. Once we’ve found the source, we repair it with as little demolition as possible. Slab leaks get extra urgency from us, because water running under a foundation can cause serious damage in a short time.
Whole-House Repiping in Citrus Heights
In a city where the typical home was built in the late 1970s, a lot of original plumbing is reaching the end of its life. Repeat pinhole leaks, rusty or cloudy water, and pressure that drops every time the dishwasher runs are all signs your pipes are wearing out. Our Citrus Heights repiping crews handle everything from replacing a single failing section to repiping the entire house. We replace galvanized steel, polybutylene, and Kitec regularly, and we’ll explain your material options and how long the job should take before we start.
Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Citrus Heights
Lukewarm showers, rust-colored hot water, popping sounds from the tank, or a puddle around the base all mean your water heater needs attention. Our Citrus Heights plumbers handle:
- Diagnosis and repair for tank and tankless water heaters
- Water heater replacement in Citrus Heights for gas and electric units
- Annual maintenance, including tank flushing and safety checks
- Tankless water heater installation and service
- Heat pump water heater installation
Most tank water heaters last somewhere around 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range and needs a major repair, replacing it is often the better use of your money, and we’ll tell you plainly which way we’d go if it were our house. If you’re replacing anyway, a tankless or heat pump model is worth a look. Tankless units heat water as you use it, so you won’t run out halfway through a shower. Heat pump water heaters use a fraction of the electricity a standard electric tank does. We’ll walk you through the upfront cost, what you can expect to save each month, and any SMUD rebates you may qualify for.
Water Testing & Treatment for Citrus Heights Homes
The water coming out of your tap in Citrus Heights depends on which district serves your street. Much of the city gets treated American River water through the Citrus Heights Water District, while other neighborhoods are served by Sacramento Suburban Water District, which relies more heavily on groundwater. That difference affects hardness, taste, and how fast scale builds up on fixtures and inside your water heater. We test first, then recommend water treatment based on what’s in your water:
- Whole-house filtration for chlorine taste, odor, and sediment
- Water softeners for homes dealing with scale buildup and spotty dishes
- Reverse osmosis systems for cleaner drinking and cooking water at the kitchen sink
- Backflow prevention installation, testing, and certification
- Filter changes and routine service for the equipment we install
A reverse osmosis system fits under your sink and removes most dissolved minerals and contaminants, so you can stop hauling cases of bottled water home from the store. Backflow preventers keep water from irrigation lines and other connections from flowing back into your drinking supply, and many local water districts require them to be tested every year. Our technicians install, test, and maintain both, and we handle the paperwork for backflow certification.
Residential Plumbing Repair in Citrus Heights
Our Citrus Heights plumbing service covers the small fixes and the bigger projects alike. That includes a running toilet, a dripping tub spout, low pressure at a single faucet, or new fixtures for a kitchen or bathroom remodel. You’ll get a flat-rate price before we start, so there’s no guessing what the bill will look like. If a pipe bursts or the sewer backs up in the middle of the night, our 24/7 emergency plumbers will get someone to your door to stop the damage.
For homeowners who’d rather catch problems early, our Rosie Membership includes regularly scheduled maintenance, priority scheduling, and member discounts. It’s a simple way to keep an older plumbing system in good shape and avoid the kind of failure that turns into an emergency call.
Commercial Plumbing for Citrus Heights Businesses
From restaurants and shops along Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane to offices and apartment complexes, a closed restroom or backed-up kitchen line costs a business money every hour it’s down. Our Citrus Heights commercial plumbing team handles restaurant drain and grease line cleaning, commercial water heaters, fixture repair, emergency service, and required annual backflow testing. We schedule routine work to keep disruption to a minimum, keep you updated while we’re on site, and offer Net 30 billing for commercial accounts.
Additional Citrus Heights Plumbing Services
Gas Line Repair & Installation in Citrus Heights
If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house and call PG&E or 911 from outside. Once it’s safe, our licensed plumbers can repair leaking gas lines and run new lines for ranges, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens. We pressure-test every connection before we leave, so you know the system is sealed.
Toilet Repair & Replacement in Citrus Heights
A toilet that runs constantly, flushes weakly, rocks on its base, or leaves water on the floor usually needs a new flapper, fill valve, wax ring, or flange repair. If your home still has an original 1970s toilet, it may be using 3.5 gallons or more per flush. Replacing it with a WaterSense-certified model that uses 1.28 gallons or less can cut your household water use noticeably, and we’ll help you pick one that flushes well.
Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Citrus Heights
A disposal that hums without spinning is often jammed and can usually be freed. One that leaks from the bottom typically has a failed internal seal and needs to be replaced. Our Citrus Heights plumbers will tell you which situation you’re in, recommend a replacement sized for how your household cooks, and share a few habits that help the new one last, like running cold water and keeping grease and fibrous peels out of the drain.
Faucet & Fixture Installation in Citrus Heights
We repair and replace leaky faucets, swap out dated showerheads for low-flow models that still have good pressure, and install new sinks, tubs, and shower valves. Whether you’re fixing one drip or updating every fixture in the house, we make sure everything is properly sealed and working before we leave.
Citrus Heights Plumbing FAQs
Yes. We’re available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. While you wait for us to arrive, shut off your home’s main water valve if you can. In most Citrus Heights homes, it’s where the water line enters the house or in a box near the street. Turning it off can save you a lot of water damage.
It depends on the type and size of the unit, whether it’s gas or electric, and what code updates your setup needs, such as seismic strapping or an expansion tank. Switching from a tank to a tankless or heat pump unit also adds some installation work. We’ll give you a flat-rate price before we start, and financing is available through GoodLeap if you’d like to spread out the cost.
Most homes don’t need scheduled drain cleaning unless a problem keeps coming back. If you’re dealing with repeat clogs in more than one drain, or you have large trees near your sewer line, a camera inspection will show whether roots or buildup are the cause. Some homeowners in older neighborhoods benefit from having their main line cleaned once a year.
It varies by neighborhood. Homes served by the Citrus Heights Water District mostly receive treated surface water from the American River, which tends to be on the softer side. Areas that get more groundwater usually have harder water. Your water district’s annual quality report is a good starting point, and we can test your water at home to see whether a softener or filter makes sense.
Not necessarily, but it’s worth having it checked. Homes from that era may still have original galvanized pipe, aging water heater connections, or a clay sewer lateral that’s taken on roots over the years. A plumbing inspection and sewer camera check will tell you what’s in good shape and what to plan for, so you can budget for repairs on your own timeline.
No. Our technicians earn the same whether they replace a washer or recommend a full repipe. That lets them focus on what your home actually needs. If a repair will do the job, that’s what we’ll recommend.

Excellent, professional service! Armstrong does not disappoint. On time, courteous, and friendly. Antonio did a great job.
Just had a great experience with Hez and Taylor. I had an emergency toilet issue that required new parts. I called late last night and they arrived today around noon. Courteous, considerate, efficient, job well done.
Peter was able to troubleshoot the leak issue shortly after he arrived and replace the faulty part. He was professional and a joy to work with.
Fred was great 👍 👌
Had a jammed sink disposal. Armstrong called with an earlier availability, so I got service a day sooner than expected, which was nice. Fred and Taylor were on time, professional and took care of my disposal quickly. Would recommend for your plumbing needs.
Antonio arrived promptly a VC the scheduled time and quickly diagnosed and repaired our plugged up toilet. Very, very personable young man
