24/7 Emergency Service
Step 3: Water Removal / Water Extraction
After the initial damage inspection, SERVPRO of Burbank will begin emergency mitigation services as necessary. If there is standing water or affected carpets, the water extraction process will begin. This process removes the majority of water from affected materials and halts the continued damaging effects of water. Our technicians aim to restore as much of your property as possible, therefore the more quickly we can remove excess water and begin drying, the more likely materials can be saved. SERVPRO of Burbank uses industrial-powered pumps and vacuums units to quickly and efficiently remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your home or business.
Move-Out / Pack-Out
If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of Burbank can conduct an organized, efficient move-out to protect your belongings from further damage.

Emergency Water Removal
Our highly trained technicians will begin the water removal process almost immediately. Depending on the amount of water, we may use powerful submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums. Removing most of the water helps reduce drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage and mold and bacterial growth.
