Homes in Walnut Creek: what pros run into

Broadway Plaza is the main downtown shopping center. BART stops at the Walnut Creek station near downtown.

The Lesher Center for the Arts is downtown. Older water heaters in post-war homes may sit on the floor of a garage, and current code often calls for raising gas units off the floor there. Many homes have central air that works hard from June through September.

State code requires water heaters to be strapped for earthquakes, and inspectors check for it on replacements. Rossmoor is a large active-adult community in the Tice Valley.

Permits, licenses and your utility

Natural gas in Walnut Creek comes from PG&E. Gas water heaters need proper venting and a permit when replaced, which in Walnut Creek goes through the City of Walnut Creek Building Division. Water heater replacement in California is plumbing work, and plumbing licenses come from the Contractors State License Board, and state code requires seismic strapping.

EBMUD serves most of Walnut Creek, and parts of the north side get water from the Contra Costa Water District. Mount Diablo State Park is just east of the city. Wastewater from homes here goes to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, and permits run through the City of Walnut Creek Building Division. The Iron Horse Regional Trail follows an old rail line through the city.

Get ready for the call

If the tank is leaking, shut the cold water supply valve on top before the visit.

If an HOA manages your building, find out whether they need notice first.

Common questions

Do you cover Rossmoor and Rancho San Miguel?

Our network reaches Rossmoor, Northgate, Saranap and Parkmead and the rest of Walnut Creek (94595, 94596, 94597, 94598). Tell us about a gate code, a tight driveway or a dog in the yard so the pro can plan. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.

Why does my tank make popping noises?

Sediment on the bottom of the tank traps water that boils and pops. Flushing helps, but a very loud tank may be near the end.

Is a leaking water heater an emergency?

A drip from a fitting can wait a little. Water from the tank itself means it's failing. Shut off the water supply and the power or gas, and call soon.

Any Walnut Creek details worth mentioning when I call?

Shell Ridge and Lime Ridge open spaces border the city. Most homes were built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Summer afternoons are much hotter than near the Bay. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.

Can I relight my own pilot?

Many older gas heaters have relighting instructions on the label. If it will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call for help.

Write down any error codes, noises or smells. Details like that speed things up.
