Flood damage cleanup in Concord, CA

Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Concord?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Concord Building division.
Does insurance cover earthquake damage in Concord?
Not by default. Earthquake coverage is a separate policy, often through the California Earthquake Authority, and it has its own deductible.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
