Sonoma's older and historic homes have character, and often crawlspaces, original windows and decades of repairs that can hide moisture. With a strong El Niño possible, the City of Sonoma is preparing for heavy rain and flooding and opening its sandbag station at Depot Park on October 20, 2026 (City of Sonoma).
Sonoma mold risks
- Crawlspaces and basements in older homes.
- Leaks around original windows, chimneys and additions.
- Creek and street flooding in low spots during heavy rain.
- Clogged gutters under the town's many street trees. The City asks residents to keep gutters and drainage areas clear.
If water gets in
Dry within 24 to 48 hours if you can (EPA), and remove porous materials that stay wet more than a day or two (CDPH). See our drying and mold timeline.
