Water Damage Restoration in Wrightwood, CA

Wrightwood sits at about 6,000 feet in the Swarthout Valley on the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains, at the far west edge of San Bernardino County. The town was laid out in 1924 and grew as a ski and cabin community around what is now Mountain High. The housing is 1920s through 1960s cabins in the village, 1970s and 1980s homes on the slopes, and larger newer houses toward the east end, almost all on raised floors with a crawl space.

The mountain sends both fire and water at the town. Tropical Storm Hilary on August 20, 2023 sent mud and boulders down Sheep Creek and across Highway 2 at the edge of town, and the county named Wrightwood among the hardest-hit places in the storm. The Bridge Fire jumped the ridge on September 10, 2024, forced the whole town out, and destroyed three homes before it was stopped. Winter brings real snow, and a pipe in an exterior wall of an empty cabin freezes and splits on a January night.

Wrightwood water damage, in the Swarthout Valley

Mud and creek water that came through a garage is handled as contaminated water, which means sewage cleanup rules rather than a shovel. A pipe that froze under the floor is burst pipe water damage, and the drying that follows either one is structural drying that needs heat in a cold cabin.

Where to call in Wrightwood

The Wrightwood Chamber of Commerce keeps the community directory and the event calendar for the valley. Water comes from Golden State Water Company, which can shut off at the meter, and because Wrightwood is unincorporated, rebuild permits go through San Bernardino County Land Use Services.
