Water damage restoration across the East Bay
SOS Restoration of East Bay draws the water out, dries the frame, and logs the meters until they settle. Most Oakland homes date before 1980, so a failed line is often as old as the studs. The look is free. Call (341) 220-0032.

What do you do first here?
We read the meter, pull the water, and open only the stubborn spots.
A reading traces the water’s path, which is seldom the stain. The standing water leaves next. We cut a baseboard only where the meter says the cavity will not dry shut.
It sat overnight. Too late?
Usually salvageable, though the clock is running.
Soaked material gets a day or two before mold sets in. Old Bay framing, lath and plaster on wood, keeps water and masks it. So we trust the meter, not a dry-feeling surface.
Which water agency do I call?
The right one of five, because a wrong call costs the first hour.
The East Bay has no single water company; it has five. Oakland and Berkeley draw on EBMUD; other cities do not. We name the one that serves your street, so the shut-off and the sewage line go to the right desk.
When do you call it dry?
When the wet readings fall to what the dry rooms show.
We set a baseline where the water never reached, then dryers run until the wet wall meets it. You get numbers daily, not assurances. The insurance claim rests on that log.
Which cities do you dry?
All twenty-four, from the shoreline flats to the valley.
The same crew and card cover Oakland, Hayward, Concord and the rest. Unsure the water has stopped? Call the dispatcher before a wall comes open. Water caught on sealed tile within the hour does not need us.

The cities we drive to for this work
Two counties, one shoreline and a ridge of hills between them. Water behaves differently in a flatland bungalow on the island of Alameda than it does in a hillside house above Berkeley, and our crews work both sides of the Caldecott. Every city below gets the same dispatcher and the same rate card.
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.
Water keeps moving while you weigh it, so an early call means less wall out. Ring (341) 220-0032 and name the wet room.
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.
