Richmond is old housing in a county that plays the seismic rule differently. A roof letting rain in needs a roofer first; the wet ceiling under it is ours.
Because two in three Richmond homes predate 1980.
65.4 percent of the city’s 42,406 homes stood before 1980, and one in ten before 1940. That is old copper and old drains. A water job here is nearly always the failed line, not the weather.
EBMUD at the tap; the sewer depends on which part of Richmond you are in.
The East Bay is divided among several agencies, and Richmond’s water comes from EBMUD. Calling the one that serves your street is what keeps the shut-off from eating the first hour.
No. Richmond is Contra Costa, which carries none.
Seven Alameda cities run a mandatory soft-story ordinance; Contra Costa has zero. So a permit for the repair is not tangled in the retrofit rule, and the rebuild moves faster.
A small spill, and the framing behind it reads dry.
Water you caught and wiped in minutes may need nothing more. A free reading of the framing behind it settles it. You keep the number, and it costs nothing.
The crew that dried it, holding both licenses.
No stranger takes the second half. IICRC #70194273 on the drying, CSLB #1131134 on the rebuild, matched to a 1960s house. Ask the dispatcher what your Richmond block needs.
Not always. An outdoor release is a claim question before it becomes a cleaning job.
Photograph it and report it before anyone wipes a surface. Wiping first removes the only proof that it was ever there.
Yes. Richmond has 42,406 homes and 10.5 percent were up before 1940.
That is old stock. A lab decides if this ends as a dry-out or an asbestos removal job, so the lab goes first.
One of three: the city, West County Wastewater or Stege Sanitary, by neighborhood.
The city runs central Richmond, West County Wastewater the north and Stege Sanitary the Annex. We name the one that owns your street rather than sending you to a general number.
Outdoor soot from a refinery event, until the claim is opened.
That is a report before it is a clean. We photograph it, hand you the file, and wait for the carrier rather than charging you to erase the evidence.
Refinery on one side, the bay on the other, and a long shoreline of older homes between them. The Annex and the hills have the pre-war houses; the flats have everything built since.
A number is enough to start. The rest tells us which bridge to cross and what gear to load.
Old Richmond pipe fails on its own clock; the first stain is the time to phone.
