Who restores Agoura Hills homes after a leak or a fire?

LA Home Restorations does water damage restoration for Agoura Hills homes, from Old Agoura and Lake Lindero to Morrison Ranch and East Agoura, and restores them after fire and smoke too. We look at where the water came in, dry the floors, walls and ceilings and repair or rebuild what the damage took.

Many neighborhoods here began as housing tracts after the Ventura Freeway came through in the late 1960s, and large areas were subdivided again in the 1980s. Homes from those decades can still run on their original supply lines, shutoff valves and drain pipes, which is where many sudden leaks begin: a hose that bursts behind the washing machine, a water heater that gives out in the garage, a pipe under a slab that weeps for weeks before a stain appears.

A few checks once a season catch a lot of it early: find the main shutoff valve and make sure it turns, look at the washing machine hoses for bulges or cracks, look for rust or damp at the base of the water heater and check under the sinks for drips.

Fire history and rain risk in Agoura Hills

The Woolsey Fire in November 2018 evacuated Agoura Hills, and the Chesebro Road bridge was damaged in the fire. Fire-prone hills mean smoke and ash can reach homes the flames never touched.

Agoura Hills averages about 18 inches of rain a year, most of it from December to March. Medea Creek, east of Kanan Road, carries that water through the city in a natural bed again since its concrete canal was removed in 2016.

Questions from Agoura Hills homeowners

Straight answers to what people here ask most.

Can a slow leak be hiding in my Agoura Hills home?

It can. A pipe in a wall or under a slab can leak for weeks before you see it. A water bill higher than usual, a musty smell or a stain that grows are the signs. Call us and we will come out to see the damage.

Where is the main water shutoff in an Agoura Hills home?

Usually on the pipe where the water line enters the house, often near a front hose bib or in the garage, and there is another valve at the meter box by the street. Find yours and try it before you need it.

Can smoke from a hillside fire reach an Agoura Hills home?

It can. The city was evacuated in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, and smoke and ash from fires in the chaparral hills can settle in the attic, the ducts and the fabrics of a home the flames never reached. We tell you what can be cleaned and what should go.

What should I do if heavy rain gets into my Agoura Hills home?

Photograph the water and where it came in, keep out of rooms where water reaches outlets or cords and move what you can to a dry room. Then call us: wet drywall, carpet and wood should be dried quickly.
