Putting Millbrae rooms back together after water

Parts of Millbrae sit in FEMA 100-year and 500-year flood zones, and the Housing Element warns that sea level rise worsens flash flooding in low-lying eastern areas. Most household water damage still starts smaller, with a supply line, a toilet seal or a window that let rain in. Either way, wet drywall and swollen baseboards have to come out before anything goes back.

We don't extract water or run dryers; a mitigation company handles that, and a plumber or roofer fixes the source. Then text us photos. We cut out soft drywall, look at the framing, swap wet insulation, and close the wall once it's dry. Debris goes in bags or a bin kept on your property, since Millbrae wants containers off the street when possible.

Worth knowing about Millbrae

  • The San Andreas Fault lies within a mile of Millbrae's western edge, the Serra Fault crosses the city, and soils in the east have very high liquefaction susceptibility.
  • At the SFO weather station, about 2.1 miles northeast of City Hall, summer highs average 72.5F and normal precipitation is 19.6 inches a year.
  • The Housing Element dates Millbrae Highlands and Marina Vista to 1900 through 1929, Bayside Manor and Lomita Hills to 1930 through 1949, and the western hills to 1950 through 1969.

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.
