Water damage & mold help in San Jose, CA
San Jose has wet winters and long dry summers, and its biggest flood in decades came in February 2017, when Coyote Creek overflowed and forced thousands of residents in the Rock Springs neighborhood and nearby areas to evacuate. Atmospheric river storms, earthquakes and aging plumbing are the other main sources of water damage in the city.

San Jose homes and water damage
San Jose has thousands of mid-century Eichler homes in Willow Glen and Cambrian, many with radiant heating pipes embedded in the concrete slab. Leaks in those pipes are hard to find and can soak flooring from below. Older bungalows in the Rose Garden and Naglee Park sit on raised foundations with crawlspaces.
Coyote Creek and Guadalupe River flooding
Creeks that run through the city rise quickly during atmospheric river storms, as in February 2017.
Radiant slab leaks in Eichler homes
Aging copper or steel radiant tubing in Eichler slabs can leak, causing warm or wet floors and hidden damage.
Earthquake risk
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged homes across the South Bay, and quakes can break pipes and water heaters.
Summer AC condensate leaks
Hot inland summers keep AC systems running, and clogged condensate lines overflow into ceilings.
Older crawlspace homes
Bungalows in the Rose Garden, Naglee Park and Willow Glen often have plumbing running through crawlspaces, where slow leaks can soak subfloors and grow mold before anyone notices.

San Jose questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in San Jose?
Cleanup doesn't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of San Jose Building Division.
How do I know if my San Jose Eichler has a radiant heating leak?
Signs include warm spots or damp areas on the floor, a boiler that keeps losing pressure, and unexplained water bills. A leak detection specialist can locate it.
