Common emergencies in Walnut Creek homes
Much of Walnut Creek is ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, many of them on concrete slab floors. In a slab home the water lines often run under the concrete. When one leaks you may not see water at all. You hear it running, find a warm patch of floor, or get a water bill that makes no sense. That is a job for leak detection, and we do it.
The other emergencies are the same ones we see everywhere. A water heater gives out. A main drain blocks and the lowest shower fills up. A supply line under a sink or behind a toilet lets go. Big valley oaks are part of what makes the city nice to live in, and their roots are a regular cause of blocked sewer lines.
What to tell us on the phone
Three things help us most: your address, what is leaking or backing up, and whether the water is still running. If you live in a condo or a gated community, tell us about gate access and whether your association needs to be told. A plumber is sent out and you get an arrival window.
On site, the plumber stops the damage first. After that you get a plain explanation of the cause, the repair and the cost. Then you choose.
Sewer and water agencies
Walnut Creek's public sewers are run by Central San, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. Drinking water comes from EBMUD or the Contra Costa Water District, depending on the address. These agencies look after the public mains. The pipes on your own property are yours, and those are the ones we clear and repair. For a line that backs up again and again, see drain cleaning in Walnut Creek.
