Oro Grande is an unincorporated community on the city boundary of Victorville and Adelanto, at about 3,000 feet in the Victor Valley. It sits along the Mojave River and old Route 66. Homes in ZIP code 92368 can call the same local water damage restoration team that serves Adelanto.
The community has deep history: the river corridor was part of a Native American trade route, and the area later grew around mining and the National Trails Highway. On rural lots, a slow leak in a home or outbuilding can go unnoticed for days, so check under sinks, around water heaters and along supply lines after any cold snap.
The Mojave River is mostly underground and its channel stays dry most of the time, but it can flood in extreme storms, as it did during the El Nino rains of February 1993. Outside water that enters a home is treated as contaminated under the IICRC S500 standard, so soaked porous materials usually need to be removed.
If water gets in, stay out of moving water, keep clear of wet outlets and photograph the damage. Report the claim to your insurer immediately, and remember that standard homeowners policies exclude flood damage.
When river or storm water gets in, see flood and storm water cleanup, and if damp areas were left too long, mold remediation. Oro Grande borders both Adelanto and Victorville.
