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.

I discovered mold when the dishwasher was being replaced. My landlord called out servpro. I thought it would end up being an annoying process and hard to manage. Boy was i wrong. Cody, Earl, Josh and Paul were all fantastic. They explained every step of the way, and answered any question i had along the way. Their office was great as well with scheduling on the days that worked best for me. They repaired all damage and I can't even tell they were there. They cleaned up everything along the way and never left a mess. 11/10 stars. Definitely recommend these guys.

After having a house fire over Easter weekend, we honestly had no idea what to expect or where to even start. The same day we called our insurance, Dustin showed up right away on Easter weekend ready to help, and from that point on him and his team made this whole stressful situation so much easier for our family. They had to empty our home, clean everything, repaint, and basically help bring our house back together. I was honestly nervous and embarrassed having people come into our home during such a hard time, but they never once made us feel uncomfortable or judged. They were super respectful, understanding, and always kept us updated on what was happening and what to expect next. One thing that really stood out was how involved Dustin was himself. Even though he has a whole team, he was still very hands-on during the repairs and genuinely cared about making sure things were done right. He’s also really knowledgeable and took time to explain things to us and even gave advice on future upgrades we may want to do one day. It never felt like he was trying to sell us anything, he was just genuinely trying to help. We had never met Dustin before and our insurance even told us we could choose someone else, but we decided to give this company a try and they seriously did not disappoint. They were quick, communicative, respectful, and did an amazing job during one of the hardest times for our family. Definitely recommend them!!! If I could give them more stars, I definitely would of!

I had a house fire and my insurance company recommended I use Servpro. Dustin came out the same day and got a scope of all the work that needed to be completed to get my home livable again. The communication was clear and very easy to contact if we had any questions. The customer service and quality of work was beyond expectations. They made the whole process very easy, had a sense of urgency and completed the whole project in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using Servpro for any of your needs.

5-Star Service! We had some storm damage and needed help. Once we opened the walls, we found a whole host of issues. Dustin and his team addressed each problem/concern and we made a detailed plan to remedy all concerns. I was provided with an estimate and if it changed, was able to approve changes before they were implemented. Dustin provided updates frequently, as I couldn’t be on site during the process. We discovered our roof was the culprit and he worked with the roofing contractor to make sure they understood what the issues were. Dustin and the crew were there for everything. We have a beautiful home now!

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.
