Why Chino Properties Face Unique Remediation Challenges
Chino’s history stretches back to 1841 when it was granted as Rancho Santa Ana del Chino—a Spanish land grant that would shape the agricultural identity this city still celebrates today. Richard Gird purchased the rancho in 1881, subdividing the land into the Town of Chino, which was incorporated as a city in 1910. From sugar beets and corn in the early 1900s to the dairy farming that flourished from the 1950s through the 1980s, Chino has long been known as a place “Where Everything Grows.” Today, approximately 91,400 residents call this evolving community home.
Chino sits at the western edge of San Bernardino County, bounded by Chino Hills to the west, Pomona to the northwest, Ontario to the northeast, and Eastvale across the Riverside County line to the southeast. Orange County forms the southwestern border. The city is easily accessible via the Chino Valley (71) and Pomona (60) freeways, making it a convenient suburban community while maintaining its agricultural heritage.
The city encompasses distinct areas with different characteristics. Downtown Chino, often called Old Town, features tree-shaded streets lined with locally owned businesses and turn-of-the-century Craftsman-style homes. Northern Chino around Central Avenue offers established neighborhoods with mid-to-late 20th-century ranch-style homes. The massive Preserve development in South Chino—over 5,400 acres of former dairy and farmland annexed in 2003—represents the city’s newest growth, with master-planned communities like University Park, College Park, McKenna Park, and Whitney Ranch featuring 21st-century townhomes and single-family residences. Other established areas include neighborhoods near Chino Airport, the Prado Regional Park area, and communities throughout the city’s 30 square miles.
Chino experiences a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers pushing temperatures into the high 80s to low 90s—occasionally exceeding 100°F during heat waves. Winters bring mild conditions with highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. Annual rainfall averages approximately 15-17 inches, concentrated during winter storms from November through March. With around 288 sunny days per year and humidity ranging from 45-57%, the climate seems manageable for moisture concerns—but older homes and rapid temperature swings create conditions that challenge building materials and plumbing systems.
Chino’s median home construction year of 1986 reflects the city’s growth pattern: historic neighborhoods from the early 1900s, substantial post-war development through the 1970s, continued expansion in the 1980s, and a major building boom in The Preserve since 2003. This mix means properties range from century-old Craftsmans potentially containing original materials including asbestos, to modern homes with contemporary building standards. Older areas—particularly in northern Chino where homes were primarily built in the 1960s and 1970s—face the typical challenges of aging plumbing, outdated HVAC systems, and potential asbestos in flooring, insulation, and textured coatings. When winter storms arrive and temperatures swing from hot days to cool nights, these aging systems are tested, and water intrusion can follow.
Services We Offer in Chino
Mold Removal in Chino
Chino’s mix of older homes and newer construction creates diverse mold scenarios. In established neighborhoods, aging HVAC systems and original plumbing may leak undetected behind walls for months. In newer developments like The Preserve, improper installation or settling can create moisture pathways. The semi-arid climate offers little natural humidity, but when water intrusion occurs—from plumbing failures, storm runoff, or HVAC condensation—enclosed spaces become ideal mold environments. Our vetted mold remediation specialists establish proper containment, safely remove affected materials, and apply antimicrobial treatments to take the necessary steps to prevent recurrence.
Water Damage Restoration in Chino
Water damage in Chino comes from predictable sources: aging copper and galvanized plumbing in pre-1980 homes, slab leaks common in properties built on the valley’s clay soils, winter storm intrusion, and water heater failures. Newer homes in The Preserve face their own challenges as construction settles and landscaping irrigation stresses fresh installations. The dry climate can mask water damage—hidden leaks may go unnoticed until mold has already taken hold. Our vetted water damage specialists respond with emergency extraction, structural drying, and continuous moisture monitoring to mitigate secondary damage.

Mold Testing in Chino
When you notice musty odors, see water staining, or experience unexplained allergies, professional Mold Testing provides answers. Properties changing hands—particularly older homes in established Chino neighborhoods—benefit from testing during transactions. Our vetted specialists collect air and surface samples following established protocols, with analysis performed by accredited laboratories. You receive clear results interpretation and honest recommendations about next steps.
Asbestos Removal in Chino
Chino’s 1986 median construction year places roughly half of the housing stock in the potential asbestos era. Historic homes in Old Town and established northern neighborhoods built before 1980 commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, popcorn ceilings, and textured coatings. Before any renovation project on pre-1980 properties—whether refinishing floors, updating kitchens, or removing that dated ceiling texture—testing is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. Our vetted asbestos specialists follow Cal/OSHA protocols and South Coast AQMD requirements for proper identification and, when necessary, safe removal and disposal.

MoldRx was born from that shared vision of transparency and integrity.

Chino FAQs
How fast can MoldRx respond to emergencies in Chino?
We coordinate rapid response throughout the West San Bernardino County region. Chino’s central location with access to the 71 and 60 freeways allows our vetted specialists to reach properties quickly. For water damage emergencies, the sooner extraction and drying begin, the lower the risk of mold development and secondary damage.
What makes Chino homes prone to mold issues?
Despite the semi-arid climate, several factors create mold conditions. Older homes in northern Chino often have aging HVAC systems that develop condensation problems. Properties built on clay soils may experience slab leaks that go undetected. Homes that sit closed up during hot summer months can trap moisture from any water intrusion. Even newer homes in The Preserve can develop issues from construction settling or irrigation system problems.
Do most Chino homes contain asbestos?
With a median construction year of 1986, Chino has a mix. Homes built before the late 1970s—particularly in Old Town and established northern neighborhoods—commonly contain asbestos materials. Properties built after 1980 typically do not, but some materials containing asbestos were used into the 1980s. Testing before renovation is recommended for any property built before 1985.
What are common causes of water damage in Chino?
Common causes include: aging plumbing in older homes (particularly galvanized pipes in pre-1970 construction), slab leaks common with the area’s clay soils, water heater failures, winter storm intrusion, HVAC condensation issues, and irrigation system problems—particularly in newer developments where landscaping systems are heavily used.
How do I know if I need mold testing in Chino?
Consider testing if you notice musty odors, see visible mold or water staining, experience unexplained respiratory symptoms or allergies, have had past water damage, or are buying or selling a property—especially older homes in established neighborhoods. Commercial properties and rental units may require testing for documentation purposes.
