Even Thousand Oaks residents have reason to be rankled by water damage; some may still remember when a city-owned tank with five million gallons of water overflowed and sent water down the slopes into the 2300 block of Rutland Place on December 23, 2009. One of the houses was mucked up in six inches of muddy water. If you are in need of insurance for fixing up water damage in Thousand Oaks homes like yours, a company such as Southern California Water Damage Pros may be just what you need. A water damage restoration specialist will be there to help you file your insurance claim. However, Strauss said you have to lay down the groundwork by reviewing your policy ahead of the adjuster’s visit. At the same time, take pictures of all pertinent damage and have them ready of the visit. Be present well ahead of the adjuster, and consider calling in your contractor.

Water Damage in Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley to be Mitigated with New FEMA Flood Maps
"Water may be the source of all life, but it can be a destructive force as well. Ventura County has seen its fair share of floods, with each instance incurring serious property damage. Residents are, thus, advised to take every necessary precaution during bouts of heavy rain. As soon as a flood has sufficiently subsided, it would be wise to call in professional cleaning services to address water damage in Thousand Oaks and other parts of the Greater Los Angeles Area. Using information compiled from engineering models, annual rainfall statistics, storm gauge information, and topographic data, the digital maps of FEMA can identify high-risk areas. Quite notably, the updated maps have downplayed the risk of flooding in certain areas previously considered to be particularly prone to flooding. "
