Bought an old house, need to get blueprints so I can find out where
all the water pipes are (slab on grade). Call county building
department (sacramento, ca), number on counties own web site
disconnected. Call county information line and get a number. Call it
and told to call a different agency. Call different agency, given
original number that is disconnected. Tell them number is
disconnected, given number for county information. Tell them I called
them, they gave me a number and people at that number refered me to
your department. They tell me I need to call number that just refered
me. Call that number back and tell them that I am getting the run
around, the lady could care less. She puts me through to some dipwads
voice mail who is out of the office untill the end of next week. I
swear to god you could not make this stuff up! I think you must have
to pass some stupidity test to work for some of these government
agencys!

If blueprints exist they will be found at any of three places
1. Architect or designer.
2. Builder or contractor.
3. Building permits office (of whatever municipal or county
issues permits for your location.)

None is likely to keep documents unneeded for 10 years, but
we do not know how old your house is. Each can tell you for
how long after completion building documents are kept.

When dealing with any of these, you tend to get better service
at the office in person than by calllng cold by telephone.
