Pleasant Hill: creek water, measured and mapped

Grayson Creek’s floods in Pleasant Hill are gauged. SOS Restoration of East Bay draws the water off and rebuilds what it soaked. We work in two languages, and no charge for the visit. Peaks were logged in 1955 and 1958. Call (341) 220-0032.

Is Grayson Creek the main Pleasant Hill risk?

Pleasant Hill has a creek with a measured record.

Only near it — the gauge tells you how near.

The West Fork gauge logged peaks of 416 and 602 cubic feet per second in 1955 and 1958. Those map to roughly twenty- and fifty-year floods. Whether your address sits near the creek changes the whole plan.

Which agencies bill a Pleasant Hill address?

Contra Costa Water District for the tap; Central San for the drain.

Pleasant Hill draws from Contra Costa Water District, not EBMUD. Central San carries the sewer. Five agencies split the East Bay’s water, so we confirm yours before the shut-off.

What does a 1972 Pleasant Hill house add?

An even chance of lead or asbestos inside.

62 percent of Pleasant Hill’s 13,939 homes predate 1980. About half fall in the era when lead paint and asbestos were legal. We test a sample before we cut for a water job.

When is no crew the right Pleasant Hill call?

When a fast spill dried before it reached the pad.

A quick spill on a hard floor may need nothing. The check is a moisture reading below the surface, not the look of it. Reads dry, and we leave you to it at no charge.

Who finishes a Pleasant Hill job?

One team holds the job end to end.

No second contractor midway. IICRC #70194273 dries it and CSLB #1131134 rebuilds it, matched to a 1972 home. Ask the dispatcher what your Pleasant Hill street needs, and where the rebuild fits.

Which water is not ours to handle?

Grayson Creek in flood is the district’s work, not a restoration crew’s.

That creek has measured rises going back to 1955 and 1958. We start where the water crossed into the building and found something that holds it.

A 1972 house. Test first?

Yes. Barely one percent of these 13,939 homes predates 1940.

The median still sits inside the window. We sample before opening anything, because the answer decides whether this is a dry-out or a contained removal.

Who owns the sewer line?

Central San, with Contra Costa Water District on the supply side.

Two agencies, two calls. Knowing which one owns your failure decides whether the main gets cleared or you wait on a switchboard.
