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 cannot say enough good things about Jimmy and Julio from SERVPRO of East Concord/Brentwood. They were absolutely amazing from the moment they arrived. We were dealing with an unexpected water emergency in our home, and I was understandably overwhelmed. Jimmy and Julio immediately made me feel like we were in good hands. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, careful, and incredibly thorough. They took their time inspecting our home, checking areas I never would have thought to check, and making sure nothing was overlooked. What stood out to me most was their patience and kindness. I had so many questions, and they patiently answered every single one. They explained what they were doing, what they were finding, why they were doing it, and what we could expect next. I never felt rushed or like I was bothering them with questions. They were also incredibly respectful and careful with our home while setting up all of the equipment. During what could have been a very stressful and scary experience, Jimmy and Julio made me feel safe, supported, and genuinely taken care of. This is exactly the kind of professionalism and customer service you hope for when something goes wrong in your home. I am incredibly grateful that Jimmy and Julio were the technicians who came to help us. SERVPRO is very lucky to have them. Thank you, Jimmy and Julio, for taking such amazing care of our home and our family. I would recommend this team without hesitation. 10/10 experience!!

Thank You, Julio and the SERVPRO Team We recently experienced a flood in our home, and Julio from SERVPRO made a very stressful situation much easier for us. From day one, Julio was incredibly kind, professional, and thorough. He always kept us updated on what he was doing and what would happen next, which we really appreciated. He took great care of our home, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure the area was properly protected and ready for reconstruction. What we appreciated most was simply how much care Julio put into everything. He treated our home with respect, and it was clear that he takes pride in his work. On a personal note, our dog Toby absolutely loved him and looked forward to seeing him every day, which says a lot about the kind of person Julio is. We’re truly grateful to Julio and the SERVPRO team for helping us through a difficult experience. Thank you, Julio, for taking such good care of our home and making this process a little easier for us.

I don’t usually post any review , but I would want to this time. This company, SERVEPRO I accidentally came across with went over the top. I had an emergency water spill in my toilet tank, and they came and helped me right away. It was a Labor Day weekend , and they managed to come out here to do the necessary work to control the damage . Mr Julio Silias did the job more than expected of him . Very professional and dedicated to his job and very honest . He worked until after work hours to make sure that everything was taken care of . And came back every day to continue working . I don’t even need to be home the whole time . And Mr Bola, the Manager overseeing everything was very committed to the job. Very patient and did all the necessary reporting to my insurance company . He took the time to check everything , on all corners and spaces that needs to be reported to keep my house in good standing, by doing an accurate reporting and investigating on the actual damages this water incident has don’t to my house. He was very reassuring and made sure that will other best to restore my house in shape . I can never thank them enough for helping me make this less stressful as it was . I will strongly recommend this company to anyone who would have the same problem. KUDOS TO YOU BOTH & SERVPRO for all your help!!!🙏

After a flooding damaged our floor, our HoA commissioned ServPro to do the demolition and recovery. Due to the process on our HoA and legal involved the whole thing took well over 6 months but ServPro had always been very quick to respond and accommodate our requests. They are expensive but fortunately insurance covered it, but the assigned project manager Kayode Okunuga has been extremely patient with our change requests and has shown great flexibility. We did have to ask few things because I like to things to be well documented and completely clear, but Kayode has accommodated most of my requests. Thank you.

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.
