Our East Oakland water damage service area

The Fruitvale core of East Oakland. The older bungalows and fourplexes here sit on slabs with aging supply lines, so slab leaks, appliance line failures, and sewer backups in a hard rain are the losses seen most.

A flatland pocket in deep East Oakland near the San Leandro line. Low grading and stressed storm drains push stormwater into ground floors and garages, and cast-iron laterals surcharge in a heavy winter storm.

A low-lying neighborhood between the freeway and the shoreline. When an atmospheric river stalls, the drains back up fast and water reaches ground-floor rooms, so crews stage to extract and dry the same night.

Hill-foot blocks above the flats with mid-century homes on slab. A warm floor spot and a doubled water bill usually means a slab leak here, and the crews dry the slab in place wherever they can.

The wooded upper East Oakland area near the old Oak Knoll site. Homes on the slope see roof leaks and hillside runoff, while the flatter streets below take on stormwater.

The MacArthur corridor and the hills above it. Water heaters in older garages let go onto the slab, and wind-driven rain finds tired roof flashing on the hillside homes.

Craftsman and Spanish-style homes around Sausal Creek. A ceiling leak often shows up a room away from its source, and the creek corridor floods low yards in a big storm.

Dense older housing east of the lake. Aging galvanized supply lines weep inside walls and sewer lines back up through ground-floor drains during heavy rain.

Victorians, lofts, and storefronts near the estuary and the Port. Flat lots pond in a hard rain and older plumbing fails inside walls, and the crews handle both homes and commercial spaces.

North Oakland's older homes on the Berkeley line. Original plumbing and tile-over-slab baths mean slow leaks and slab leaks, and the crews dry them without tearing out more than they must.
