Who repairs water damage around the lake and in the hills of Westlake Village?

LA Home Restorations does water damage restoration for homes across the Westlake Village community, on both sides of the county line, around the lake and up in the hills, 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.

Westlake Village was planned as one community: the ranch land was bought in 1963, and the Los Angeles County part became a city in 1981. If your home dates from the early decades of that plan, its supply lines, water heater and roof may be original, and those are the parts most likely to give way. Lawns, planted slopes and irrigation lines also run close to many houses, and a broken sprinkler line or a valve stuck open can soak a wall, a slab or a garage before anyone notices.

Inside, a leak that starts upstairs usually shows downstairs: a stain on the ceiling below a bathroom, a drip at a light fixture, paint that bubbles. Shut the water off, keep away from wet ceilings and fixtures, and photograph what you see before you call us.

What is different about working in Westlake Village

The things a homeowner here would recognize, and why they matter after water, smoke or rain.

Westlake Lake at the center
Westlake Lake sits at the center of the master-planned community and lies within the Malibu Creek watershed.
On the county line
The community straddles the Los Angeles and Ventura county line, and the city covers only the Los Angeles County portion, about one third of it.
Open space on every side
Lake Sherwood is nearby, and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area adjoins the city with nature trails, so the neighborhoods are surrounded by open space.
Water from the lake flows to Malibu Creek
Water released from Westlake Lake must follow an agreement between the State Water Resources Control Board and a private lake management association, and it flows to Malibu Creek.
The Woolsey Fire evacuations

Fire history and rain risk in Westlake Village

The Woolsey Fire in November 2018 caused residential evacuations in Westlake Village, and parts of the city were repopulated afterward. Open space on every side means smoke and ash can reach homes the flames never touched.

The lake lies in the Malibu Creek watershed, which drains about 109 square miles to the coast, so storm water from the hills around the city finds its way down Malibu Creek to the sea.

Questions from Westlake Village homeowners

Straight answers to what people here ask most.

Do you serve the Los Angeles County side or the Ventura County side of Westlake Village?

Both. We come to homes across the Westlake Village community, on both sides of the county line: in the City of Westlake Village on the Los Angeles County side and in the Westlake area of Thousand Oaks on the Ventura County side. Call us with your address.

What should I do if an irrigation line floods toward my Westlake Village home?

Turn the irrigation off at the controller and close its valve, or shut the main water valve if you cannot find it. Move anything stored against the wet wall, photograph the area, and if water or mud got inside, call us to clean it up and dry the rooms.

Can smoke reach a Westlake Village home that did not burn?

It can. Residents were evacuated in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, and with open space on every side, smoke and ash can drift into the attic, the ducts and the fabrics of homes the flames never touched. Once we have seen each room, we tell you what can be cleaned.

What should I do first if a pipe leaks in my Westlake Village home?

Close the main valve, often where the line enters the house, then keep away from any ceiling that sags or drips under the leak. Move rugs and furniture to a dry room, photograph the water and where it came from, and call us.
