San Clemente up close
San Clemente is served with the Mission Viejo area. Census figures show 45% of homes were built before 1980, against 57% for the county, while 36% are rented and 14% sit in buildings with 5 or more units. Another 6% of homes are kept for seasonal use, against 1% countywide, and in an empty home a slow leak can soak a slab or subfloor for days.
FEMA flood insurance records show 0.2 claims per 1,000 homes across Orange County from 2016 to 2025, against 0.5 for California, and the average building payment on a county claim was $23,237. FEMA's National Risk Index puts the town's yearly inland flood loss at $95 per $100,000 of building value and the county's coastal flood loss at just 1, so canyon runoff is a bigger threat than the ocean. Orange County storm reports list flash flooding or flooding on 46 days from 2016 to 2025. Runoff is Category 3 and needs flood insurance. For a clean-water leak caught early, carpet water extraction can often save the carpet.
