Redlands homes near the University of Redlands and along Redlands Boulevard often face water damage from aging pipes in early-1900s Craftsman and Victorian houses. Our team at 3102 E Highland Ave responds within the hour for extraction and drying in these neighborhoods where narrow lots and mature trees can complicate access.
Winter rains in the Mediterranean climate pool along the base of the San Bernardino foothills, pushing water into basements and crawl spaces around Smiley Park and downtown Redlands. We handle the resulting mold risks in stucco and wood-frame structures common throughout the area.
Hot summer bursts from irrigation or appliance failures hit kitchens and laundry rooms hard in Redlands' older stock. Crews focus on targeted drying to protect original hardwood floors and plaster walls without unnecessary demolition.

Water Damage Restoration Patton in Redlands — Local Notes
- •Redlands' early-1900s housing stock features knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized pipes that corrode and leak behind walls, requiring moisture mapping before any tear-out.
- •Properties on the east side near the university sit on slight slopes that direct runoff toward foundations during storms, so we place extra drying equipment along lower perimeters.
- •Narrow driveways and mature landscaping around Smiley Park homes limit equipment staging, so we stage dehumidifiers on sidewalks and use smaller portable units.
- •Proximity to the I-10 corridor means quick access from our Patton location, but downtown traffic around State Street can add minutes during peak hours.
