What Makes Plumbing in San Lorenzo Different
San Lorenzo is unincorporated, so most homes and businesses connect to the Oro Loma Sanitary District instead of a city sewer system. Oro Loma requires a permit before lateral repairs, and the district has a Private Sewer Lateral Inspection Program. Under the program, sellers generally need to have the sewer lateral inspected and get a compliance certificate before ownership transfers. If repairs are needed, Oro Loma may allow extra time to complete them. If you’re preparing to sell or have an older lateral, our sewer line repair team can explain what Oro Loma requires and pull the permit for you.
San Lorenzo gets its water from the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Most of EBMUD’s water comes from the Mokelumne River watershed in the Sierra Nevada foothills. EBMUD water is fairly gentle on plumbing, but many San Lorenzo homes still have original galvanized supply lines. These types of pipes can rust from the inside out. That rust can cause low water pressure or discolored water in older neighborhoods. Our water leak detection and pipe leak services can find these problems early before they lead to water damage.
