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 is a reputable outfit. I have worked with them for several leak remediation and repair projects at different locations in the Bay Area.

Their immediate and expeditious response is followed by detailed and scheduled plan of action and management of the process to its full completion.

I had an excellent experience with SERVPRO of Campbell and wanted to share how impressed I was with their customer service. I called with a few concerns about potential damage at my property, and Vee answered the phone. From the moment she picked up, she was warm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to really understand my situation, walked me through what to expect, and explained the services they provide in a way that was easy to understand. What stood out most was how reassuring she was. I was feeling overwhelmed before calling, but Vee’s calm and professional approach genuinely made me feel better. She didn’t rush me, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure I had all the information I needed to take the next steps confidently.

We had water damage with mole in our kitchen, unknown to us for a while. We contacted serve. Pro and T was the team manager, and came out and could not have been more helpful and more considerate and more efficient in our project. At the time my daughter moved in with two twin preemie babies, and we had the kitchen mopped off and the crew he had was so respectful of air quality for us with the babies and trying to make life as convenient as possible. Super pleased with their end, result the work along the way and highly recommend

I had the misfortune of a flood in my kitchen one week before hosting Christmas. I worked with Matt on water mitigation. He was always upbeat, positive, and very patient when I asked him to explain and re-explain the entire process. He also moved FAST! He got me a temporary sink and hired a plumber so we wouldn’t be out of our house. I then started working with Will Smith and Tee Ballin on reconstruction. They are some of the nicest, most candid pros. I’ve never had to file a home insurance claim in my life, and they were incredibly helpful and fast on delivering everything the insurance needed to rebuild as quickly as possible. Once we got to reconstruction, the work they did was immaculate. We are incredibly meticulous, and they rebuilt our kitchen and living room in a way that made it all look like the day we moved in. I cannot thank the team enough for giving us our beautiful home back. I highly recommend Servpro!

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.
