A county island inside Newbury Park
Casa Conejo is unincorporated and surrounded by the City of Thousand Oaks. Wikipedia, a secondary source, describes a Casa Conejo Municipal Advisory Council that makes recommendations to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. For anyone who needs water damage restoration in Newbury Park at a Casa Conejo address, that setup means permit and drainage questions may go to the county instead of the city.
Wikipedia gives approximate boundaries. Old Conejo Road and US 101 sit to the north, Borchard Road to the south, Jenny Drive to the west and Sequoia Middle School to the east, all in ZIP 91320. Construction began in 1960, making it the first planned community in Newbury Park. We do not guess what is inside your walls from a street's age. We read the moisture meter.
What the public record says about flooding here
Arroyo Conejo crosses the southern part of the community and is managed by the Ventura County Watershed Protection District, per Wikipedia. Minutes of the September 19, 2018 advisory council meeting record that FEMA established the area's flood zones in 1985 and that homes in the 1 percent (100-year) floodplain must buy flood insurance. The county and city agreed to review those areas.
A May 2014 news report placed the mapped high-flood area south of US 101, from Borchard Road west toward Wendy Drive, with about 300 properties. That covers part of the area, not every street. The report described a risk from larger storms, not a specific past flood.
Neighborhood-specific FEMA flood-zone status not verified beyond that partial picture. Look up your own address at FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you decide anything about coverage.
Water in a Casa Conejo home right now?
Call (805) 291-8940 and tell dispatch which floor is wet and where the water came from.
Sorting the water before we start
The source decides the process and often the insurance conversation. California Department of Insurance guidance says standard homeowners policies do not cover flood. Sudden and accidental plumbing or appliance water is often covered, while gradual leaks often are not. Read your policy or ask your insurer.
| Where the water came from | How it is usually treated | What to photograph |
|---|---|---|
| Supply line, water heater or appliance | Mitigation and drying, often after shutting off the valve | The failed part, the valve, the wet floor |
| Roof leak during rain | Dry the ceiling and insulation, then repair the roof | The stain, the roof area, the date it started |
| Creek or storm overflow entering the home | Treated as flood water, with cleaning and disinfection | Water lines on walls, outside grading |
| Sewage from a floor drain or toilet | Contaminated water, with containment and removal | The drain, affected rooms, any standing water |
Why flood and sewage water change the work
ANSI/IICRC S500 is the published standard that sorts water by contamination level, and you can ask any company whether its crews work to it. Our flood damage restoration work removes porous items such as carpet pad, then cleans and treats before drying. For a backed-up drain, see sewage backup cleanup.
First-response safety
If water is still coming in
Keep out of the water
If water reaches outlets, an electrical panel or appliances, stay out. Cut power only if the panel can be reached dry, and call the utility or 911 for any electrical or gas risk before calling us.
Stop the source
Close the fixture valve or the main shutoff if you can reach it safely. Roof or storm water cannot be shut off, so move people and valuables to dry rooms.
Keep it out of storm drains
The Thousand Oaks ordinance prohibits dumping anything but clean water into storm drains. Do not hose or pump contaminated water toward the street.
Photograph, then lift
Take wide photos and video of the water and damage before moving belongings. Then lift small items off wet floors and set aluminum foil under furniture legs.
Extraction and drying, step by step
Extraction units pull standing water from hard floors and carpet. A thermal imaging camera and moisture meters then show where water traveled behind baseboards. That map sets where air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go, and readings are logged each visit. Our water mitigation service covers drying, and water damage cleanup covers contents and surfaces. Mold work follows ANSI/IICRC S520 practice.
Documenting a loss and finding the right office
Keep photos, video, a written scope of work and every receipt. Scope and price are explained before work starts, and our documentation helps with an insurance claim. A flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program generally takes effect 30 days after purchase.
Before any repair, ask which agency covers your lot. Casa Conejo is unincorporated, so building questions may go to Ventura County. Permit rules vary by scope, so ask before work begins.

We offer same-day response when available, and dispatch runs 24/7 at (805) 291-8940. Tell us the cross street, which floor is wet and what the water source is. Our emergency water removal starts with extraction and a moisture survey.
Is my Casa Conejo home in a flood zone?
Public records describe part of the area as mapped, but not every street. Neighborhood-level status for your lot is something we cannot confirm for you. Enter your address in FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and ask your insurer what your policy covers.
Which office handles repair permits for Casa Conejo?
Casa Conejo is unincorporated, so building and drainage questions may go to Ventura County instead of the City of Thousand Oaks. Confirm which agency covers your lot before repair work. Permit rules vary by scope.
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe or a flood?
Sudden and accidental water damage is often covered and gradual leaks often are not. The California Department of Insurance says standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. Check your policy or ask your insurer.
