Water damage help in Wildomar, CA
Area: Wildomar, CAZIP: 92595
Wildomar blends rural lots and older homes with newer subdivisions along the I-15. Larger properties, longer water lines and irrigation systems mean leaks can go unnoticed longer than in a typical tract home.
Common leaks in Wildomar homes
- Long service lines. On larger lots, a leak between the meter and the house can run for weeks. Watch the meter with everything turned off.
- Irrigation leaks. Broken sprinkler lines and valves waste water and can undermine slabs and patios.
- Water heaters and washers. The usual suspects in garages and laundry rooms.
- Shutoff valves. Older valves may be stiff; test them twice a year.
Your water district
Wildomar is generally served by Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. Check your bill for your provider.

- Photograph everything before cleanup.
- Call your insurer and a restoration company.
Leak-prevention picks for Wildomar homes
- Water leak detectors — Place under sinks, by the water heater and behind the washer.
- Water meter / curb valve key — Lets you close the valve at the meter box.
- Automatic water shutoff valve — Shuts off the main when a leak is detected. Have a licensed plumber install it.
