Malibu is a coastal city in the Santa Monica Mountains with 21 miles of beaches along the Pacific, linked to the inland valleys by Malibu Canyon Road. It had 10,654 residents at the 2020 census. Homes in ZIP code 90265, which also covers the unincorporated canyon areas, can call the same local water damage restoration team that serves Agoura Hills.
Malibu Creek, which drains 109 square miles of the Conejo Valley and Simi Hills, reaches the ocean at Malibu Lagoon. The 2018 Woolsey Fire destroyed or damaged hundreds of houses in Malibu on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway. Of Malibu's occupied homes, 69.9 percent are owner-occupied.
Coastal and canyon homes face both plumbing failures and winter storms, and properties on slopes can take on runoff during heavy rain. If water gets in, stay out of moving water, keep clear of wet outlets and photograph everything. Remember that standard homeowners policies exclude flood, so report the loss and ask your insurer which coverage applies.
Winter storms bring calls for storm runoff cleanup, and damp rooms near the coast can lead to mold remediation. Calabasas is inland across the mountains.
