Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in Napa and Vallejo

What Makes Napa and Vallejo Different

This corner of the North Bay has seen fire, flood and earthquake. The South Napa earthquake of August 2014 cracked walls, broke pipes and damaged older buildings. Wildfires in the hills around Napa in 2017 and 2020 destroyed homes, and smoke can damage a home that never burned. Soot and odor get into walls, ducts and insulation, so treat smoke damage as a cleanup job, not just an airing out.

Most rain falls in winter, and the Napa River and its creeks can rise fast in a big storm. Low areas near the river, the sloughs and the bay flood in heavy rain and very high tides. Floodwater from outside is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it, so flood insurance is a separate policy worth pricing here.

Many homes in Vallejo, Benicia and older parts of Napa were built long before 1978, so lead paint is common, and old plaster, pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos. Test before you tear anything out. After an earthquake, check for gas leaks and broken water lines before anything else.
