West Sacramento has hard water. Hard water causes mineral scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances — reducing efficiency and lifespan. Water softener installation and regular descaling are recommended.

Year-round plumbing service is available. Flush water heaters annually in fall and check for slow leaks during seasonal maintenance.

The most common cause is a dried P-trap in a rarely used fixture. Run water in the sink, tub, and floor drain for 30 seconds each. If the smell persists, the toilet wax ring may be compromised, or the vent pipe on the roof may be cracked or blocked.

Sewer gas contains methane and hydrogen sulfide. In small amounts it's mainly unpleasant, but prolonged exposure can cause headaches, nausea, fatigue, and eye irritation. In rare cases of high concentration (usually confined spaces), it can be hazardous. Ventilate the area and address the cause promptly.
