Antioch: delta stock, and water from inside the wall

SOS Restoration of East Bay covers Antioch, out where the county meets the San Joaquin delta. We pump the water off, then rebuild. Bilingual crew, and looking is free. Its flooding is local, not town-wide. Call (341) 220-0032.

Where does Antioch actually flood?

Antioch floods in two named spots, and the rest is a plumbing story.

North of the Union Pacific tracks, on West Antioch Creek.

When the culverts overrun, the water hits north of the tracks and West 10th Street. About 490 people live on ground below six feet there. Everywhere else, a wet floor is a failed line.

Who serves the city's water?

Contra Costa supplies it wholesale; the city treats and bills.

Several agencies divide the East Bay. Antioch buys wholesale from Contra Costa Water District, treats and bills it itself, and Delta Diablo runs the sewer. We ring the right desk so nothing waits.

Is Antioch under a soft-story rule?

No. Antioch is Contra Costa, which has none.

Seven Alameda cities carry a soft-story ordinance; Contra Costa carries zero. So the permit for an repair is not tied to the retrofit rule, and the rebuild moves faster.

When should Antioch not call?

When a fast-caught spill left the framing dry.

Newer framing and a spill you caught early may need nothing. We meter the wall behind it to decide. Dry, and we say so and leave you to it.

Who rebuilds in Antioch?

The team that dried it stays to build it.

No handoff to an outsider. IICRC #70194273 on the drying, CSLB #1131134 on the rebuild, fit to a newer delta home. Ask the dispatcher what your Antioch street needs.

When is the flooding not ours to fix?

Street ponding on the two streets that flood belongs to the city’s drainage, not to us.

We work from the threshold inward. If it stopped on the driveway, a broom closes it. If it crossed and found carpet or drywall, that is a different morning.

Is the whole town a flood risk?

No. the city’s flooding is pinpoint, not a wide river problem.

It repeats in specific spots rather than across the map. That matters for what your policy expects and for what a surveyor will actually write down.

A 1987 house. Anything to test?

Less than you would think. Only 38.1 percent of this stock was standing in 1980.

Newer stock moves the risk from lead and asbestos toward fittings and fixtures. Delta Diablo runs the sewer, and Contra Costa Water District treats what comes in.

Where our crews go

Delta town, hot and windy, with the river on one side and the tracts climbing the hills on the other. The oldest neighborhoods sit closest to the water, and so do the oldest pipes.

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.

Off those two streets, an Antioch wet floor is the pipe, so read it early. Call (341) 220-0032 for a crew.
