Plumber in Rancho Cordova, CA
From the older streets off Folsom Boulevard to the newest homes in Anatolia
Rancho Cordova is really two towns when it comes to plumbing. North of Highway 50, along Folsom Boulevard and the streets near the American River, many homes went up in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Those houses are now dealing with tired galvanized pipe, cast-iron drains and sewer laterals that tree roots found a long time ago. South of the freeway, master-planned neighborhoods like Anatolia, Sunridge and Capital Village are newer, but their original water heaters, fixtures and valves are reaching the age where they start to fail.
2 Brothers Plumbing works on both. We’re based just down the road in Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova is one of the first cities we named when we drew our service area. Our team has been in the trades since 1988, and we handle residential, commercial, service and new construction plumbing. Whether you’re in a 1960s ranch home near Mather or a newer house off Rancho Cordova Parkway, you get a free estimate on site and a real price before any work starts. No guessing, and no surprise add-ons once the job is underway.

Plumbing services in Rancho Cordova
The plumbing calls we get from Rancho Cordova tend to follow the age of the house. In the older neighborhoods it’s low water pressure, rusty water, slow drains and sewer backups. In the newer subdivisions it’s water heaters giving out, pressure problems and the first leaks inside walls. Add in the hot, dry summers and the clay soil that shifts under slabs and sewer lines, and you get a steady list of repairs. These are the services Rancho Cordova homeowners ask us for most, and what each one does for you.
Repiping
If your home still has its original galvanized supply pipe, a repipe ends the cycle of pinhole leaks, rusty water and weak showers. We plan it room by room so you’re not without water longer than needed.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera run down your sewer line shows exactly where roots, cracks or sags are hiding, so you pay for the fix you need and nothing you don’t.
Sewer Line Repair
Older clay and cast-iron laterals crack and separate over time, especially as the soil moves. We repair the damaged section or replace the line so backups stop for good.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen and bathroom drains in older homes build up years of grease and scale. We clear them properly instead of just poking a hole through the clog.
Water Heaters
Many water heaters in Anatolia and Sunridge are original to the house. We repair or replace them, and we’re certified installers for Bradford White and Navien.
Tankless Water Heaters
Replacing an old tank is a good time to look at tankless. You get endless hot water and free up garage space, which matters in a smaller home.
Leak Detection
A hissing wall, a warm spot on the floor or a water bill that jumped for no reason usually means a hidden leak. We track it down without tearing up your house to find it.
Water Softeners
Hard water is common across the region. A softener protects your new water heater, fixtures and appliances from scale and helps them last.
Gas Lines
Plumbers handle gas too. We repair gas leaks and run new lines for ranges, dryers, water heaters and outdoor kitchens.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes and sewer backups don’t wait for business hours. We take emergency calls every day, Sundays included.
Our step-by-step process
Rancho Cordova homeowners tell us the hardest part of hiring a plumber is not knowing what the bill will look like until it’s too late. That’s why we work the same way on every job, from a running toilet in Capital Village to a full repipe in a 1960s home off Folsom Boulevard. You always know what we found, what it costs and what happens next. Here is what to expect when you call us.
- 1
We come out
You call, tell us what’s going on, and we set a time to come to your home. If water is coming through a ceiling or sewage is backing up, tell us right away. We take emergency calls every day, and we’ll talk you through shutting off the water while you wait. A few minutes at the shut-off valve can save a floor.

Free on-site estimate
We look at the problem in person, not over the phone. In an older Rancho Cordova home that might mean checking what your supply pipe is made of or running a sewer camera inspection to see the line itself. If the line is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too. Then we give you a free estimate with a real price. No teaser special that grows once the truck is in your driveway.

Your approval
Nothing starts until you say yes. We explain your options in plain language, including when a repair makes sense and when replacing is the smarter money. If you need it, you can apply for financing right from your estimate, with several options depending on credit. Take the time you need to decide.

The repair
We do the work the way we’d want it done in our own homes. That means protecting floors, keeping the work area clean and doing it right the first time. For bigger jobs like whole-home repiping, we plan the work so your water is back on as soon as possible each day, and we patch the access points we open.
- 5
We test everything
Before we call a job done, we test it. We run the water, check every connection we touched for leaks, watch the drains clear and make sure the water heater fires and holds temperature. If something isn’t right, we find out before we leave, not after you’ve found a puddle.
- 6
Close-out
We walk you through what we did, answer your questions and close out the job. Most new installs carry a one-year warranty on leaks and labor, repairs to existing equipment carry a limited warranty, and extended warranties are available. And we’re still here the next time you need a plumber.

Why We Love Working in Rancho Cordova, CA
Rancho Cordova became a city in 2003, but the community is much older than that. It grew up around Mather Field and the river, and it still has some of the best outdoor space in the county. A few of the places we pass on the way to jobs here:
- Mather Regional Park. Part of the former Mather Air Force Base, which closed in 1993, is now a large regional park with a lake for fishing and paddling, vernal pools and good bird-watching.
- Hagan Community Park. The biggest park in the Cordova Recreation & Park District sits beside the American River Parkway, with ball fields, a dog park, a fishing lagoon and the miniature trains of the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers.
- Sacramento Children’s Museum. Families from all over the region come to Rancho Cordova for this hands-on museum built for kids from birth to eight.
- American River Parkway. The parkway runs along the city’s north edge, giving Rancho Cordova residents miles of riverside trail for biking, running and fishing.
Rancho Cordova is a place where long-time families and brand-new homeowners live a few miles apart, and Folsom Cordova Unified serves kids from both. That mix keeps our work interesting. In the morning we might be chasing roots out of a 60-year-old sewer line, and in the afternoon we’re swapping out a water heater in a house that’s barely 20 years old. We sponsor high school sports, theater and arts programs in the area because these are our neighbors, and we want this community to keep doing well. After a job near the parkway, it’s hard not to stop and look at the river for a minute.

Plumbing questions from Rancho Cordova
My Rancho Cordova home was built in the 1960s. Should I worry about my pipes?
It’s worth having them checked. Many homes from that era were built with galvanized steel supply pipe, which rusts from the inside and slowly chokes off water pressure. If you’re seeing rusty water, weak showers or small leaks, we can look at your pipes during a free on-site estimate and tell you whether repairs or a repipe makes more sense.
Why does my sewer back up every year or two?
Usually it’s roots. Older clay and cast-iron sewer laterals have joints that roots can work into, and clearing the line only buys time until they grow back. A camera inspection shows whether the pipe is cracked or sagging so we can recommend a lasting repair instead of another cleaning. If the line needs replacing, trenchless options can often save your yard.
My water heater in Anatolia is original to the house. Should I replace it before it fails?
If it’s showing signs like rust-colored hot water, popping noises or moisture at the base, yes. Planning a replacement costs less than an emergency one after a leak. It’s also a good time to look at a tankless water heater, and our guide to tank vs. tankless water heaters in Sacramento walks through the trade-offs.
Do you work on gas lines in Rancho Cordova?
Yes. A lot of people don’t realize plumbers handle gas. We find and repair gas leaks, run new gas lines and work on gas mains. If you smell gas, leave the house and call PG&E or 911 first, then call us for the repair. We pressure-test every gas line we install or repair before it goes back into service.
Do you charge for estimates in Rancho Cordova?
No. Estimates are free and done on site, so you see the real price before any work begins. If you’d like to spread out the cost, you can apply for financing right from your estimate, with several options depending on credit.
