Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Burbank

Our local pros provide water damage restoration services in Burbank and the surrounding area, including Los Feliz Neighborhood Council District. A Los Angeles County city at the foot of steep hills that burn periodically, with debris basins between those slopes and the housing.

Housing stock

Building in Burbank clusters in the late 1950s: the median unit dates to 1959, with 84.6 percent finished before 1990. Five in six homes predate 1990, largely postwar stock on slab across ground the hills have laid down. Whole neighborhoods share a build year and a schedule of failures.

Climate and water risk

Burbank averages 16.5 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at BURBANK VALLEY PUMP PLT 1.3 miles away, with February the wettest month at 4.47 inches. February tops the year at nearly four and a half inches out of seventeen. What governs the risk is less the rainfall than the state of the slopes above.

Common water damage problems in Burbank

  • Steep hills immediately above that shed water and material together once burned
  • Basins between the slopes and the streets, which work by filling and need clearing
  • Two thirds of a year in which nothing at all tests a roof or a gutter
  • Postwar stock of one era, with everything in it reaching its limit together

    Groundwater & Basement Intrusion

    Basement seepage, failed sumps, and hydrostatic pressure against the foundation are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is identified so the loss does not repeat.

    Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage

    Water-stained or sagging ceilings are professionally dried, treated, and restored after roof failures, plumbing leaks, or upstairs overflows. Moisture is removed from the structure, damaged material is safely taken out, and the area is stabilized.

Frequently asked questions

Fire went through the hills above. What follows?

Nearly everything about how that ground handles rain. Burned slopes shed instead of absorbing and carry soil, ash and rock with the water, so a storm that would have passed unremarked can produce a flow of material. The raised risk lasts several years while vegetation returns rather than a single season, and a plan has to reflect that.

What are those basins above the streets for?

They catch the rock and soil coming off the slopes so what reaches the roads is water rather than a moving mass. They work by filling up, which means their capacity has to be restored between events. A basin that has not been cleared has less room than it was designed with, and that is a fair thing to ask about.

Everyone on this street seems to fail in the same season.

They were finished within a couple of years of each other to one specification, so the pipe, the flashing detail and the position of the heater are identical door to door. Things fitted together wear out together. What the neighbors dealt with last winter is a fair forecast for this house, particularly for anything never replaced.
