Water Damage Repair in Dublin, CA | Junior Elite Services

After a water heater or pipe leak in Dublin

Dublin requires a permit for every water heater installation, replacement units included, and its inspectors check for two seismic straps and, for gas heaters in garages, burners at least 18 inches off the floor unless the unit is flammable-vapor-ignition resistant. A tank that finally lets go usually floods the garage or closet around it, and the nearest wall and baseboard take the water first.

Replacing the heater is permitted plumbing work for a plumber. Our part comes after: once the leak is fixed and the space has dried, we cut out soft drywall, replace wet insulation, put on new baseboards and match the texture and paint. Text photos of the damage. For an insurance claim, the estimate comes in writing with photos attached.

Worth knowing about Dublin

The nearest NOAA normals station, in Livermore about 5.7 miles east, averages 57.1 days a year at 90°F or more and a summer high of 87.2°F.
The Calaveras Fault runs just west of San Ramon Road, and liquefaction potential is higher along Dublin Boulevard, Village Parkway and Tassajara Road, per the City's Safety Element.
Only 19.4% of Dublin's 25,157 housing units were built before 1980; the busiest building decade was the 2010s, with 30.6% of units.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Do you work in Dublin?

Yes. Dublin is about 35 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 49 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from San Ramon Village to Schaefer Ranch.

Who issues permits in Dublin?

The City of Dublin Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

As a condition of every Dublin building permit, construction is prohibited between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sundays and holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Do you do water extraction or drying?

No. For standing water or soaked walls, call a water mitigation company first; they bring the drying equipment. When the space is dry, we take over the repairs.
