Water Damage Restoration in Arlington, CA
Arlington was its own town once, a citrus colony founded in 1877 along Magnolia Avenue three miles southwest of downtown Riverside, and it kept its own post office and depot until the city grew around it. The old commercial core at Magnolia and Van Buren still has 1900s to 1930s storefronts, and the streets behind it have 1920s bungalows on raised foundations. Most of Arlington, though, is 1950s and 1960s single-story slab ranch tracts that filled the groves between Magnolia and the Arlington Heights greenbelt, where the last commercial citrus in the city still grows along Victoria Avenue.
The flats drain slowly. Arlington sits on the alluvial plain between the river and the Woodcrest hills, and storm water from Woodcrest comes down across it toward the river. The February 2024 atmospheric river put water on the low streets along Jackson and Harrison. Inside the houses, the problem is age: sixty-year-old copper carrying hard water, roof-mounted swamp coolers still in service on many of the 1950s houses, and water heaters in side-yard closets that drain under the stucco.
This site routes Arlington homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the house before setting a scope.
