Local rules
California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check. If a leak is on the street side of the meter, call the City of Vallejo Water Division first, since that section usually belongs to the utility. Leaks on your side are typically the owner's job.
Permit questions go to the City of Vallejo Building Division. Vallejo's city water system treats water from Lake Berryessa, the State Water Project and other sources. Wind and salt air wear exterior metal. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is on the north side.
The local picture in Vallejo
Vallejo was briefly California's state capital in the 1850s. Breezes off the Carquinez Strait keep summers milder than inland.
Mare Island was a Navy shipyard from 1854 to 1996. Houses updated in stages can have three kinds of pipe under one roof, and the spots where old meets new deserve a close look during any repair. San Francisco Bay Ferry runs from Vallejo to San Francisco.
Dry years bring watering limits and a lot of interest in low-flow fixtures, and many yards now run on drip irrigation. St. Vincent's Hill has many Victorian and early 1900s homes.
What to have ready
Take a photo of the model label on the water heater, toilet or faucet if you can find one.

Questions from Vallejo residents
What should I tell the plumber on the phone?
Say what you see, where it is, how long it has been going on and whether water is actively leaking. A photo helps them bring the right parts.
How do I find my main water shutoff?
Look where the water line enters the building, often near the meter in a basement, utility room or garage. In apartments there may be one shutoff per building, so ask your landlord where it's before you need it.
Which parts of Vallejo can you help with?
Yes, as long as a pro is available. Vallejo ZIP codes 94589, 94590, 94591, 94592 are in range, and that includes Glen Cove, Hiddenbrooke, Mare Island and Downtown Vallejo. Share the street name when you call so we can check the right part of town.
Is a small leak under the sink an emergency?
Not always, but it should not wait long. Turn off the valve under the sink, put a bowl down, and call for a repair before the cabinet floor soaks through.
Where do permits come from in Vallejo?
Vallejo permits come from the City of Vallejo Building Division. Ask the plumber before work starts whether a permit applies to your job.
Jot down when the trouble started. It saves time once the pro arrives.

Heads up: VendorReach itself never shows up with tools. An outside plumber quotes the job, does the work and stands behind it. It's fine to say no if the quote doesn't sit right. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
