Verdemont is the north end of San Bernardino, the last neighborhood before the 215 climbs into the Cajon Pass. It was citrus and open land until the 1980s, and then it filled with two-story slab tract homes through the 1990s and 2000s on the slopes between Palm Avenue and the freeway, with Devore's older ranch lots just beyond. The ground tilts toward Cable Creek and Cajon Wash, and every street drains downhill toward them.
That slope is the risk. The Old Fire burned the hills above Verdemont in October 2003, and on Christmas Day that year the storm that followed sent debris flows down Cable Canyon that killed two people and pushed mud through homes in Devore. Thirty-three of the county's 34 foothill debris basins filled that day. The two-story houses add the usual indoor problem: an upstairs bathroom leak that shows up as a ceiling stain in the room below.
Call us now and tell us what you see. We connect Verdemont homeowners with an independent local water damage provider who looks at the house and sets the scope.
Mud that came through a garage on the uphill side is handled as contaminated water, which is sewage cleanup rules. A ceiling stain under a second-floor bathroom is water extraction upstairs and structural drying below.
Glen Helen Regional Park, the 1,340-acre county park just up the freeway, sits in the same drainage and its lakes fill from the same Cajon runoff that runs past these streets. Verdemont is inside the city, so water comes from the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department and rebuild permits go through the city's building desk.
