Who repairs water damage in a Calabasas home?

LA Home Restorations does water damage restoration for homes in Calabasas, in neighborhoods such as Park Moderne, Calabasas Highlands, Cold Creek, Monte Nido and The Oaks, and restores them after fire and smoke too. We look at where the water came in, dry the structure and repair or rebuild what the damage took.

In Calabasas the water does not always come from the sky. Early on 20 January 2024 a water pipe ruptured on a hillside above Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Ruthwood Drive, and some areas reportedly saw 2 to 3 feet of mud along the side of the road. On a slope, a broken line, a leaking irrigation system or a pool can send water toward a house as surely as a storm.

Inside, the sources are the familiar ones: a washing machine hose, a water heater in the garage, an ice maker line behind the refrigerator, a shower that has leaked into the subfloor. We look at where the water came in.

Fire history and rain risk in Calabasas

During the Woolsey Fire in November 2018 evacuation orders for Calabasas were expanded to the whole city. In January 2025 the Kenneth Fire was approaching Calabasas and Hidden Hills by evening, and in December 2024 the Franklin Fire closed Malibu Canyon Road and Las Virgenes Road.

Calabasas has wet winters and dry summers, averaging about 18 inches of rain a year. Most of it falls in winter, and on a hillside lot the water reaches a house from the slope above as well as from the roof.

Questions from Calabasas homeowners

Straight answers to what people here ask most.

Can a leak in a Calabasas home stay hidden?

Yes. Water runs under flooring and inside walls before it shows. A stain, a soft spot in the floor, bubbling paint or a musty smell can mean wet materials behind the surface. We find it with moisture meters and thermal imaging before deciding what to dry and what to open.

What should I do if water or mud from a slope comes toward my Calabasas home?

Stay out of its path and call 911 if anyone is in danger. If a broken water line is the cause, report it to your water provider so it can be shut off. Once it is safe, photograph the damage from outside and inside before anything is moved, then call us: we clean out the mud and water that got in and dry the rooms.

Can wildfire smoke damage a Calabasas home that did not burn?

It can. The whole city was under evacuation in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, and the Kenneth Fire came close in January 2025. Smoke odor and ash can sit in the attic, the ducts and the fabrics of a home the flames never touched, so we look room by room.

Do you work in Monte Nido, Cold Creek and the other canyon neighborhoods?

Yes. We come to homes across Calabasas, from The Oaks and Park Moderne to Calabasas Highlands, Cold Creek and Monte Nido up in the canyon country, about 16 miles by road from our Malibu office.
