Trusted Water Extraction and Structural Drying Specialists

From a small pipe leak to catastrophic flooding, water can damage the foundation, floors, and walls of your home or business, not to mention the belongings inside. And mold growth can begin in a couple days.   

There’s not a minute to lose. Quick response can keep a bad, potentially hazardous situation from getting worse. At SERVPRO, water extraction (also known as water removal) is a key part of our water damage restoration process. Using powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units, we can quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water.  

From there, structural drying begins. Using the latest drying systems, from targeted heat to controlled airflow, we’ll make sure your property is dried to the industry standard to maintain structural stability and avoid further damage.

Why Water Extraction and Structural Drying?

Water extraction is exactly what it sounds like: removing excess water from your home or business after a water emergency like a flood, leak, or backup. Structural drying removes any excess, hidden moisture that has been absorbed by structural components throughout the home.  Water extraction and structural drying are essential to:

Prevent Mold Growth

Mold can start growing in just 24 to 48 hours. Once that growth begins, spores can spread quickly, leading to health risks and expensive cleanup and restoration.

Minimize Structural Damage

Standing water can weaken the structural integrity of your home or business. This can make your floors, walls, and ceilings warp, deteriorate, and even collapse. Structural repairs can be extremely expensive and disruptive.

Prevent Odors

Thoroughly drying your home after water damage will reduce the chances of unhealthy mold and mildew, along with the persistent musty smells that come with them.

Preserve Your Belongings

After a water-related event, your furniture, electronics, valuables, and important papers can be damaged or ruined. It’s important to get the contents of your home out of harm’s way.

SERVPRO responded so quickly when our Unless U facility flooded and we needed help. We serve adults with different abilities, and their entire team was incredibly attentive to our students’ needs. They worked quickly and carefully while making sure they weren’t too loud or disruptive. Michelle was so caring and attentive and truly had one of the best work ethics I have ever seen! She worked nonstop to get the job done. Will was also incredibly kind. He made a second trip to our location and patiently waited over 45 minutes for our Executive Director to arrive and review the flooring samples. We are beyond thankful for the care and professionalism they showed our Unless U family. I highly recommend SERVPRO!

SERVPRO of Centreville, Marion, and Selma was referred to us due to the influx of claims received by the franchise that usually services our area following Winter Storm Fern. Travis and his team were nothing less than a complete Godsend during the chaos of two tankless water heaters freezing and bursting…subsequently flooding both floors of our home. Throughout the entire process Travis was professional, knowledgeable, and most of all… kind. This was a new experience for us, and definitely something outside of our comfort zone, but we were kept informed and up-to-date throughout it all which helped to make an unfortunate situation easier to handle. The team was thorough and helped us with adequate and appropriate documentation and pictures to support our insurance claim all while dealing with a less than accommodating insurance adjuster. We hope to not need SERVPRO’s services in the future, but if we do… we know to bypass our closest franchise and contract with Centreville, Marion, Selma, Livingston, Demopolis and Butler every time.

After the damage caused by the winter ice storm, ServPro truly went above and beyond in restoring my home. From start to finish, the entire experience was handled with professionalism, care, and dedication. Travis was my main point of contact, and I cannot say enough great things about him. He conducted our initial walkthrough to assess the damage and made sure everything was clearly explained before the work began. Not only was he knowledgeable and thorough, but he was also incredibly hands-on throughout the entire process—right there with his team helping clean, mitigate, and restore our home. Christian, George, and the rest of the team were equally amazing. They were polite, hardworking, detail-oriented, and treated my home with the utmost respect. You can truly tell they care about the work they do and the people they serve. Five stars honestly aren’t enough to reflect the gratitude I feel for Travis and his entire team. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to getting the job done right made all the difference during a very stressful time. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done!

SERVPRO Water Extraction & Structural Drying Knowledge Center

What equipment does SERVPRO use for water extraction?

When it comes to water extraction, SERVPRO technicians have both the very latest and the tried-and-true at their disposal: 

  • Moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation. 
  • Infrared cameras find “hidden” water behind walls and ceilings. 
  • Submersible and gas-powered pumps are used for continuous pumping of high-level water. 
  • Truck-mounted and portable extraction units perform efficient water removal. 
After water damage, how long does it take for mold to grow?

It’s important to begin water extraction and drying immediately, since mold growth can begin just 24-48 hours after water was introduced to your home.

What’s a sump pump and what does it do?

A sump pump is a mechanical pump, often placed in a basement or crawlspace, to remove water as it accumulates in a sump pit. As the water level rises, it trips a float switch, turns on the pump, and sends the excess water away from the structure. Sump pumps help keep your basement dry and protect your home from water damage.

How long does water extraction take?

In most residential cases, water extraction takes one to three days. It depends on factors such as: 

  • The water source 
  • The amount of water 
  • How much of the home is affected 
  • Affected materials in the home like carpet, furniture, and drywall
What drying equipment does SERVPRO use?

SERVPRO technicians use industrial-grade dehumidifiers to help prevent secondary water damage like swelling and warping of floors, walls, and furniture. They use high-speed air movers to create airflow across walls, carpets, pads, and furniture, in order to accelerate the evaporation of moisture. Moisture mapping is also used to locate hidden areas that need drying. 

After water removal, how long does it take to dry out a home?

The drying process begins after standing water is removed. Drying typically takes three days to a week. But it can take longer, depending on:  

  • Type of material: wood, drywall, and other porous materials soak up more moisture and take longer to dry.  
  • Humidity levels: the higher the humidity, the longer the drying time.  
  • Saturation level: If the home is heavily saturated, drying will take longer (giving mold a chance to grow).  
Is structural drying needed after a small leak?

The amount of water you see may not be the entire picture. What’s important is not just the amount, but where the water went. A small amount of water that enters a wall, cabinetry, or flooring is often harder to detect and completely dry. Over time, that small amount of moisture can weaken the supporting materials in your home.

Should I open my windows to help with structural drying?

When the outside air is too humid, or the property needs to be kept secure, it’s best to keep the windows closed. In the case of a more humid area, such as Florida, opening windows might increase the drying time.
