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 highly recommend SERVPRO of Hollywood Hills/Los Feliz. Raffi came to my home and helped resolve my mold issue quickly and for far less than I expected. What really stood out was his honesty, he did not try to oversell unnecessary services, which I really appreciated. Raffi and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of mold or other remediation services.

Raffi and his ServPro team was top notch from the get go! My partner and I were evacuees from the January 2025 fires and relocated five times. So blessed our house survived, recently returning home. The week before returning home we realized that aside from only two small side tables, the move back home would be physically daunting. Our insurance adjuster referred three contractors to assist us with our move. My calls to the alternate contractors immediately went to voicemail, but I immediately reached Raffi's assistant who was extremely courteous and efficient, asking for all the necessary information and very soon after, I received a call from Raffi. Despite the very short notice, Raffi was fortunately able to fit our move into his schedule. Raffi also provided me with several boxes, packing paper & tape in advance when he arrived for the initial walk-thru. And then when his team arrived in the day of the move, they were so quick packing up our entire 2-bedroom apartment and so careful as well with all our breakables and more precious items -- I've moved crisis country as well as to & from Asia, and never have I experienced such efficiency, proficiency, attention to being careful with breakable, precious items, so trustworthy and all with such amazing professionalism! And that includes the unpacking of all of our kitchen items, etc! Plus the crew was extremely friendly and easygoing, willing to go the extra mile, removing all manner of refuse from all the unpacking. I would highly recommend Raffi and his team for your next move and/or any of your remediation needs, they are the best of the best!

Raffi and his team are the best! We've reached out to them on a few unfortunate occasions (roof leak, mold issue in bathroom, etc.) and they've always been extremely responsive, kind, efficient and helpful. They assess the situation, communicate well and with transparency, take care of the problem quickly, and all with reasonable pricing. Water intrusion, damage and mold are never fun but you can have peace of mind knowing Raffi is trustworthy and cares to help, he honestly goes the extra mile every time to ensure full satisfaction! I will always use them going forward and highly recommend them to anyone needing their services.

I had an excellent experience working with Rafi and his team at Servpro of Hollywood. From the very first interaction, their customer service stood out—clear communication, fast response times, and a genuine effort to make a stressful water damage situation manageable. Joann, one of their managers, was especially professional and organized throughout the process. She made sure everything was explained clearly, timelines were followed, and no details were overlooked. It’s rare to find a team that combines strong technical knowledge with such a high level of care and professionalism. Their expertise in water damage mitigation and construction repair is obvious. The issue was handled efficiently, correctly, and with long-term results in mind—not shortcuts. The job was done right, and the follow-through was just as solid as the initial response. If you’re looking for a company you can truly trust for water damage restoration and construction work, Servpro of Hollywood delivers on every level. Highly recommended.

Our home was not completely destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire but it required both interior and exterior remediation. We used Servpro of Hollywood Hills/Los Feliz (Raffi Kitsinian - excellent!). We cannot recommend them highly enough. They were professional, informative and detailed orientated. They explained the process, provided a detailed estimate and delivered on time and budget. In fact, they went above and beyond what was expected of them. During the entire process there was never any issue that they did not address. As noted, we highly recommend them, especially Raffi. They did a fantastic job.

Had an amazing experience with this Servpro and the owner himself immediately responded to a concern, and came out to my house in OC within 24 hours. He conducted some tests and gave his expert opinion right on the spot. I really appreciated his knowledge and service and they definitely have a lifetime customer with us.

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.
