Water Damage Restoration in San Jacinto, CA

San Jacinto is one of the oldest towns in Riverside County, incorporated in 1888 and rebuilt after the Christmas Day 1899 earthquake knocked down most of its brick downtown. The houses along Main Street and San Jacinto Avenue are 1900s to 1940s wood-frame homes, many raised on short foundations. The rest of the city is 1970s and 1980s single-story slab tracts and 2000s two-story stucco tracts that pushed north toward the river and the Soboba reservation. The population is about 55,000.

The San Jacinto River runs along the north and west edges of town, and it is the reason the city floods. In February 1980 it broke across the valley floor and put water in homes and fields for weeks. The river and the Bautista Creek channel were improved afterward, but the February 2024 atmospheric river still brought water across the low streets near the river. The town also sits on the San Jacinto Fault, and slabs here crack and shift.

San Jacinto water damage, river side and old town

River and street water across a garage slab near the north side is storm flood cleanup. A 1980s tract house with a warm floor is a leak detection call. A leak under a raised 1920s house downtown drips into the crawl space instead of soaking a slab, and the water extraction crew checks the subfloor from below.

The San Jacinto permit desk

Rebuild permits go through the City of San Jacinto, and water service for most of the city comes from Eastern Municipal Water District or Lake Hemet Municipal Water District depending on the street. Tell the crew which one bills you so they know who can shut the meter.
