Walnut Creek, where two water agencies split the map
SOS Restoration of East Bay covers Walnut Creek, over the hills in the valley. We clear the water, then rebuild. Bilingual crew, look free. Most homes here predate 1980, and the water agency depends on the street. Call (341) 220-0032.
Somebody answers and a van leaves. Looking is on us. CSLB #1131134 · IICRC #70194273
and the van is loaded before the call ends
the whole arc, from the first hour to the last coat

Which water agency serves Walnut Creek?
Walnut Creek is one city on two water systems, and that decides the first call.
One of two, and the street decides which.
Walnut Creek is split: Contra Costa Water District serves part of the city, EBMUD the rest. We know which line runs your block. The shut-off then goes to the right desk, and the first hour holds.
Why does a Walnut Creek home's age matter?
Because two in three homes here predate 1980.
66.7 percent of the city’s 36,018 homes stood before 1980. Since lead paint left the market in 1978, the median house falls in the sampling window. A water job here samples an old wall first.
Does Walnut Creek carry a soft-story rule?
No. Walnut Creek is Contra Costa, which has none.
Alameda County carries seven soft-story ordinances; Contra Costa carries zero. So a Walnut Creek repair permit is not caught in the retrofit rule, and the rebuild skips that step.
When can Walnut Creek skip the call?
When the spill was small and the wall behind reads dry.
Water you caught and wiped in minutes may be done. A free meter reading of the framing settles it. If it is dry, we say so and leave you to it.
Who handles the Walnut Creek rebuild?
The same crew that dried it, under both licenses.
No stranger walks in halfway. IICRC #70194273 on the drying, CSLB #1131134 on the rebuild, matched to a 1970s home. Ask the dispatcher what your Walnut Creek block needs.
When is downtown flooding not ours?
Channel work after a storm belongs to flood control, not to a drying company.
The downtown went under in the 1958 storm, and the channels that answer for it are theirs. We start at the threshold and work inward.
A 1974 house. Sample first?
Yes. Two thirds of these 36,018 homes were standing before 1980.
The median sits inside the window where flooring and joint compound still carry asbestos. A test is a day; a contained removal is a different job entirely.
Who owns the sewer?
Central Contra Costa runs it, with Contra Costa Water District on supply.
Two agencies and two numbers. We give you the one that matches the failure instead of a switchboard.

Where our crews go
Where the creek the city is named for comes down off the mountain. Older houses in the downtown grid, condos and townhomes stacked along the freeway, and a homeowners association behind most of them.
Rather write it than talk? Leave it here and we call you back.
The number is the part that matters. The rest just tells us which crew to send and how far up the road they are going.
A split water map wastes the first hour if you guess, so let us place the call. Dial (341) 220-0032 for a crew.
Sewage, storm damage, mold, fire and smoke, water, and the reconstruction that follows them, for Oakland and the twenty-four East Bay cities around it. Any hour, any day. Se habla español.
