widespread damage here downtown. one business owner told me he thinks that downtown napa will be up and running pretty much like normal very soon. but for those who own buildings like this one behind me, with the bright red tags, there are now 103 of them in town, it's going to take a lot longer. >> moved about two feet forward and eight inches to the left. >> reporter: gary pierce is trying to figure out how to rebuild, or whether he can. after his late 19th century home was knocked completely off its foundation. >> i've got some friends that are in real estate that have people that work for them that they graciously have consented to come out and tell me if we can lift this thing up, put it back on its foundation or build a new foundation under it, or whether it's just like the end. >> reporter: in the meantime, he has to move out. and because the home is red

tagged, pg&e came and removed all the gas and electric meters, including the ones that serve this cottage in the back, which wasn't damaged at all. >> the city didn't red tag that, but the meter was on the same board with the rest of it. so they took that too. which leaves me with no place to live. >> reporter: while pierce figures out where to live short-term, he also has to worry about what will happen to his house long-term. among those taking a look into it, a company that specializes in earthquake retro fitting and does research on how to keep buildings from doing this in future quakes. >> be a 18 to 20 inches. depending on the condition of the structure, it might be possible to jack it back into place. >> reporter: bottom line, if the historic home can't be repaired, it will have to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. in napa, abc 7 news. public works crews are still fixing those 120 water main

breaks in the city of napa. and it's going to take a few more days before service is fully restored to everyone. for more on that today, we go to alyssa herrington live at city hall. >> we just learned that 640 people are still without water, meaning they can't shower at their own homes. and we are seeing the number of water main breaks increasing. reason the reason is because oftentimes when they fix one pipe, they find additional problems. and at this point, they are doing their best to just keep up. andrew hall picks up free water from the red cross emergency shelter at crosswalk community church. his family has been without running water since sunday morning's earthquake. >> it's been rough. just personal hygiene, and, you know, for cooking and cleaning and drinking. just the things that everyday use you take for granted. >> reporter: the city of napa hopes to restore all leaky pipes in the next couple of days. utility crews are working around

the clock. >> what we're doing is where we see the break going out, isolating, shutting off the water, working on it, and then moving to the next. the problem is, we're adding more as we fix more. >> reporter: so far, the city has identified 120 leaks, including this one on laurel street. here's another on homewood avenue. no utility crews in sight. and on foothill boulevard, more water pools also from a leaky pipe >> i know it's a waste of water. and it's sad because we are in a drought. >> from our house to here, which is less than about three miles, we counted five leaks. >> reporter: more than 600 residents are still without running water. alyssa herrington, abc 7 news. sunday's napa quake did not damage any dams near the wine country, including the coyote valley dam and the warm springs dam at lake sonoma. the dams were inspected and no damage were found. other dams near stockton were

also given the thumbs up. more inspections are continuing along the napa river. members of a catholic religious order will be cleaning up for some time after the earthquake that caused extensive damage. walls at the historic mansion cracked, plaster crumbled, participatings and statues toppled over. and in the chapel, candlesticks snapped. a statue fell from the wall, and a crucifix crashed down on the altar. the father gerald lerner says he is thankful no one was hurt. >> i think it's important to look at it positively and look for the goodness that's there, the blessing that's there, and to seize that opportunity. >> the caramelites are waiting for an engineer to inspector the property, which was built in the 1920s, before visitors will be allowed back inside. there was quite a bit of earthquake damage in vallejo. inspectors inspected this church

bell tower to see if more demolition is needed. today a state of emergency was declared primarily because of all the damage in vallejo. nick smith has more. >> reporter: good afternoon. the owner of north bay cabinets here has lost their store front windows. you can see that they are gone, and it's been boarded up. it will cost about $10,000 to repair that damage. but they are having fun with it. they voted themselves best boarded up show room for 2014. and this has been the scene throughout vallejo. people finding a way to find humor in it all, pick themselves up, and keep right on moving. the 6.0 quake damage to areas in vallejo. the problem wasn't noticed until vallejo fire crews responded to a call forcing them to work around the issue. >> they were able to handle the water main break, plus divert water pressure to this hydrant

grid. >> reporter: today the city moved forward with a proclamation giving the city manager permission to seek aid from neighboring communities or government agents. the property damage in vallejo is close to $1 million, while the damage to private property is still being assessed. the owners of north bay cabinets did not have earthquake insurance. the cost to replace these windows will be at least $10,000. >> we don't usually see this. >> reporter: still, the town and its people remain strong, undefeated. but there are challenges. the forced closure of first baptist church in vallejo has impacted more than just the building. >> whatever they say, they will go with what they tell us to do. >> reporter: it's forced pastor mike brown to take directions someone other than his higher power. >> once we know tonight what the inspectors say, if they don't get to us or if we have more work to do, the salvation army will be out tomorrow. >> reporter: inspectors red tagged the church because of cracks in the bell tower, forcing crews to remove the

parts deemed unstable. the church, built in the 1920s and retro fitted in the '90s, is more than a place of worship. it's also an emergency shelter and soup kitchen. today they fed more than 150, busted bell tower and all. now the big push to have the doors open in time for sunday. >> i don't know where we'll have it but i've had five offers from churches to have it. but we'll have a service someplace. >> reporter: he is certain of that, because he isn't in this recovery and clean-up alone. in vallejo, nick smith, abc 7 news. along with earthquake damage, vallejo firefighters also dealt with a major blaze this morning that consumed the old commissary building on mare island. the fire destroyed the vac apt structure. firefighters went into defensive mode really, fighting the big fire from the outside after it just got too dangerous for them to be inside. today's earthquake -- or sunday's earthquake, pardon me, damaged dozens of water mains throughout vallejo, including on

mare island. that forced responding firefighters to make an extra call to local water department to see if hydrants were functional near today's fire scene. breaking news now. three people were killed this afternoon in benicia when their car ran off the northbound lake harmon northbound ramp off highway 680. we are told that all three in the car were older adults. it is not affecting any other traffic on 680. it is not clear right now why that car ran off the ramp. this is a busy tuesday evening. coming up, desperate search. a northern california student goes missing one day before school starts. also ahead, san francisco mayor ed lee tours the damage in napa. his offer to the city. and dumpster diving in napa. we explain why finding a television is so important to this man.

along the way, even bringing look two kayaks. >> the plan was to drive halfway, maybe camp someplace. avid kayaker. >> reporter: overnight, a new clue. volunteers scouring gas station surveillance footage spotting his car just 30 miles from where he started thursday afternoon. about 20 minutes later, his family says his cell phone was picked up near the town of loman. but from there, the trail goes cold. >> i am desperate to find him, and desperate to know that he's all right. >> reporter: abc news, denver. well, in spite of the images of damaged buildings and cracked wine barrels, napa valley vendors want tourists to know they are open for business. so far the quake is scaring away tourists. even tasting rooms have seen a trop-off in visitors. >> last week, this place was packed. there were people hanging out the doors, you know, waiting to

get in. and this week, it's like a ghost town. so we don't want that to carry through this next weekend. >> this is high tourist season for napa valley. labor day weekend just a few days away, and then the harvest season, which usually draws big crowds. every year, some 3 million tourists visit the napa valley, and they spend $1.4 billion annually in the valley. they want you to know they are open for business. tourism is one reason that san francisco's mayor ed lee morning. t one of the first things he saw was this structure. the fence went up just today. >> they have to be rebuilt. they have to be torn down. >> reporter: ed lee takes a tour of the earthquake damage in downtown napa, a jaw-dropping sight to be sure. >> i just want to express my support to all the residents and certainly the people that are working around the clock. >> reporter: beyond that, the mayor is hoping his constituents

will pitch in, namely corporate citizens. he says napa and san francisco are tightly linked by tourism. >> i'm going to ask volunteers for donations, for corporate citizens to be generous in their time and their resources to help people of napa and vallejo and sonoma. >> reporter: not far from downtown -- >> when the earthquake happened, it was kind of more raised. but it was denting a little bit. and then i think yesterday around 5:30, it started -- there was a big hole, like caved in completely. >> reporter: a broken water main not only creating the sink hole in the middle of the street, but leaving neighbors and high and dry. no water since sunday. >> it's not too bad since we go camping a lot. it's pretty easy. and we have a pool in our backyard, so we use that to flush the toilets. >> reporter: neighbors tell me they expect water to be restored by wednesday. sky 7 hd shows repairs underway. more earthquake impact for 15-year-old regina.

no school monday or tuesday so far this week. i asked her about that. she didn't seem to be leaving any sleep over it. but this morning's aftershock did wake her up, and it was scary because she is still pretty shaken from sunday. well, the amount of damage caused by the earthquake has been staggering. napa residents have been dumping mountains of garbage and debris at several drop-off sites around town, including this one. sky 7 hd flew over the napa high school parking lot this morning. cle collection sites at public schools are closed now because school starts tomorrow, but there are other places for people to bring their debris. so what government help is available to those who have suffered losses? >> so far, government help has been pretty sparse. however, that could change. here's how. and how you should document any of your losses. debris that was scattered across

napa is now being hauled to temporary dumps. homeowners insurance doesn't cover earthquake losses. that's what antonio vara just found out. >> i already spoke with him. he says that the insurance won't cover that. i don't have earthquake insurance. >> reporter: few carry earthquake insurance. and even those who do, often have deductibles of $50,000 to $100,000, so there's little help there. the governor has declared a state of emergency, but that doesn't trigger any direct aid to citizens. direct aid doesn't come until the president declares a disaster. >> if it's a national disaster, then funds can come in that will cover about 75% of the state's expenses. and homeowners that are affected with uncovered losses can actually get grants, low interest disaster loans, and they can get temporary housing. >> the president can declare a disaster now, weeks from now, or never. >> fema will consult with the governor and other state officials and make a

recommendation about whether they think it should be a national disaster. but it's ultimately strictly the president's call. anybody who can put pressure on the president to make that judgment would be in your interest, if you were one of the affected parties. >> so if you're in clean-up mode, it's a good idea to keep track of all your losses. this guy is trying to put the genie back into the bottle. >> last night i dropped some stuff off for my child's mother, and, you know, their whole house was destroyed on the inside. everything. and she called me today and asked me to bring some of the stuff back because the insurance company needs to see it. and she never took any pictures. >> reporter: there is one chance he can document the items. >> my son took a video and posted it on facebook, so maybe they'll see that. >> reporter: and even if your house wasn't hurt, it is a good idea to document what you have now by walking through your home with a smartphone rolling video.
