Loma Linda grew up around the sanitarium that Seventh-day Adventists opened on the hill in 1905, and the medical center that came from it is still the reason most people know the town. The city did not incorporate until 1970. The housing splits along the hill: 1950s and 1960s slab ranch homes on the flats along Redlands Boulevard and Barton Road, larger 1970s through 1990s homes climbing the south hills, and newer tracts and apartments filling in near the campus.
The flats are old floodplain. In the 1862 flood the Santa Ana River spread water from Loma Linda all the way to downtown San Bernardino, and the ground here is the reason. Today the river is channeled, and the everyday losses are the valley's usual: a slab leak under a 1960s hallway, a water heater that gave up in a hot garage, and a monsoon storm that found a worn spot in a tile roof.
Call us now and tell us what you see. We connect Loma Linda homeowners with an independent local water damage provider who looks at the house and sets the scope.
A warm floor and a rising bill in a slab home off Barton Road is a leak detection call. A tank that let go in the garage is water heater leak cleanup, and the bedroom wall it soaked needs structural drying that a box fan will not finish.
Loma Linda University Health is the largest employer in the city and the anchor of the neighborhoods around it, and many of the homes within walking distance of the campus were built for the staff who work there. Water service comes from the city, which can shut off at the meter, and rebuild permits go through the city's Building Division on Barton Road.
