Plumber in Napa, ready for the next quake and the everyday leaks
Napa is just north of our Vallejo head office. Here is what the 2014 earthquake showed about pipes, and the plumbing work Napa homes need most.
Quick answer
Napa is in our regular service area from our Vallejo head office, and phones are answered 24/7. The 2014 South Napa earthquake led to repairs on 144 city water mains, which is a good reason to check the water heater straps, gas connectors and shutoff valves inside Napa homes.
What the 2014 earthquake showed
The magnitude 6.0 South Napa earthquake struck at 3:20 a.m. on August 24, 2014, on the West Napa Fault, and the City of Napa later counted repairs to 144 water mains. City mains are the city's job; inside the house, the parts that fail in a quake are unstrapped water heaters, stiff gas connectors and shutoff valves that will not turn.
An earthquake gas shutoff valve, two heater straps and a working main shutoff cover most of it.
Water and sewer in Napa
The City of Napa draws its water from three sources, and the Napa Sanitation District provides wastewater service. On the owner's side of the line, the regular calls are water heaters, leaks, main-line clogs and sewer laterals, plus gas line repair for kitchens and outdoor cooking.
Coverage in the valley
The city of Napa is part of our regular area, along with American Canyon. For Yountville and the upper valley, call and ask first. Emergencies, from a burst pipe to a sewer backup, are dispatched any hour.
