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 am very grateful for the team at Servpro that helped with my water damage situation. I called late on a weekend and they came out early the next day and started damage control! Maurice was amazing. He stopped by every day to check progress and took the time to explain everything along the way. Jeff was who I spoke with over the phone and he was also great. I started with very little knowledge of how this process works, they both were so professional, kind, and patient and I appreciated the those qualities as much as the service. Make them your first call.

I recently used Servpro in Scottsdale to assist in getting my mom’s house ready to put on the market after she passed. She was a heavy smoker and smoked in the house for years. Jeff and his team were able to do a deep cleaning to remove the heavy smoke smell and nicotine off the walls. He assisted in many repairs and upgrades including flooring and electrical. Communication was outstanding and he provided really good advise on certain things to address and how to resolve them. This was so critical as I reside in the Chicago area and needed to have trust that things were properly getting done in a timely manner. Every trip I made to Scottsdale to. Heck on things I found the work to be completed as expected . I highly recommend the services that this Servpro team provide !!

Maurice and his teammate did an incredible job during our mold identification initial appt. Because of his depth of knowledge and experience, he could identify the type of mold immediately and helped us develop a plan for remediation. In the interim, he taped off the mold area and removed items that we thought got exposed due to proximity. He carefully wiped all related surfaces that could have been exposed while testing to ensure no additional spread. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I had an excellent experience with Servpro of Scottsdale! From the office staff to the mitigation crew, everyone was professional and courteous. The mitigation crew did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond what was expected when more damage was discovered behind my condo walls. They communicated with me throughout the mitigation process. They were efficient and exceptionally tidy as well. I highly recommend Jeff’s team at Servpro of Scottsdale! They will take care of you and your home!

His team member Maurice showed up and did an excellent job cleaning up the water damage as well as trouble shooting the issue. I would highly recommend

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.
