Plumber in Vallejo, where our head office is
Our head office is on Maple Road in Vallejo, so Vallejo is home ground. Here is what the ground, the water and the 2014 earthquake mean for plumbing here.
Quick answer
Our head office is in Vallejo, and phones are answered 24/7. Vallejo's soils mix clay, sandy loam and adobe that shift through drought cycles, which stresses sewer laterals, hard-water deposits are common, and much of the city's water comes from Lake Berryessa through the Solano Project.
Shifting soil and sewer laterals
Vallejo's soils mix clay, sandy loam and adobe, and they shift as they dry and wet through drought cycles. That movement stresses sewer laterals on slab and raised foundations alike, opening joints that let roots in. The first sign is usually a slow main drain or a backup after laundry or a holiday crowd.
We start with a camera inspection so the footage decides between clearing, a spot repair and a full replacement.
Water from Lake Berryessa
Much of Vallejo's water comes from Lake Berryessa through the federal Solano Project, which also supplies Fairfield, Vacaville, Benicia and Suisun City, with State Water Project supplies on top. Hard-water deposits are a familiar sight on Vallejo fixtures, so water heater flushing and a look at a softener are both worth doing.
Earthquake readiness
The 2014 South Napa earthquake broke a water main on Mare Island. Inside the house, the weak points in a quake are the water heater, the gas connectors and the shutoff valves, so strapping, flexible connectors and an earthquake gas shutoff valve are worth the small cost.
