Why Elk Grove homes need these repairs

Elk Grove is a mostly owner-occupied suburb south of Sacramento, built out largely since the 1990s. Water comes from two providers: Elk Grove Water District in the older core, which pumps groundwater, and Sacramento County Water Agency elsewhere. Iron and manganese in local groundwater and hot Central Valley summers shape the common calls.
