Apple Valley was sold in the late 1940s as a ranch town with room to breathe, and it kept the pattern. Most of the town is single-story homes on half-acre and larger lots, built from the 1950s through the 1980s along a grid of wide roads, with newer tracts filling in near Bear Valley Road and Highway 18. The town incorporated in 1988 and sits at about 2,900 feet on the High Desert.
The Mojave River runs along the western edge, mostly underground, until it does not. In February 1993 the river came up and over the Bear Valley Road bridge between Apple Valley and Victorville. Winter nights drop into the twenties, and an exposed hose bib line or a swamp cooler that was never drained splits and leaks when the sun comes up. Big lots mean long runs of buried pipe from the meter to the house, and a yard-line leak in sandy ground can run for months without showing.
Call us now and tell us what you see. We connect Apple Valley homeowners with an independent local water damage provider who looks at the house and sets the scope.
A bill that climbed with no change in habits is a leak detection call, and the leak is often in the yard line. A cooler on the roof that overflowed into the attic is appliance leak cleanup. A line that froze and split on the north side of the house is burst pipe water damage.
Rebuild permits that replace drywall, plumbing, or wiring go through the Building and Safety Division at the Town of Apple Valley. Water service in most of town comes from Liberty Utilities, which can shut off at the meter, and many outlying homes are on their own well.
