Water Damage Risks in Historic Downtown
Murrieta Creek flooding
The creek's 100-year floodplain reaches into downtown, east to 1st Avenue along B Street. Old Town flooded in 1993 and again in 1994, and heavy rain still closes Kalmia Street between 2nd Street and Hayes Avenue.
Floodwater is black water
Water that flows in from the street or the creek carries soil, bacteria and sewage. Carpet, pad and drywall it touches are removed, and everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected.
Older buildings
Downtown's buildings range from early 1900s houses to newer infill, and older plumbing, wood floors and plaster need careful drying to save what can be saved.

About Historic Downtown Murrieta
The downtown area runs roughly from Kalmia Street south to Ivy Street and from Hayes Avenue east to Jefferson Avenue, about half a mile west of I-15. The town site dates to 1884, and the railroad depot and Fountain House Hotel went up on New Clay Street a year later. Today it mixes older homes with Town Square Park, City Hall, the library and shops along Washington Avenue.

Questions answered
Historic Downtown Water Damage FAQs
The questions we hear most from Historic Downtown homeowners.
Is Historic Downtown in a flood zone?
Part of it is. The city’s downtown plan shows Murrieta Creek’s 100-year floodplain reaching east to 1st Avenue along B Street. Check your address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center.
Does homeowners insurance cover creek flooding?
No. Floodwater from outside needs a separate flood policy. Water from a burst pipe or appliance inside the home is usually covered by homeowners insurance.
Can older wood floors be saved after water damage?
Often, if the water was clean and drying starts quickly. Floors soaked by floodwater or sewage usually have to come out.
Do you work on downtown businesses?
Yes. Commercial work can be scheduled after hours so shops and offices can stay open where it is safe.
