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 had the most AMAZING experience with Servpro all because of who I spoke with , Dee. My grandma Cheryl needed their services but wasn’t sure exactly what to do and Dee helped her and guided her to the proper services. Dee is soooo easy to communicate with and speak with. We will be referring more family members to Servpro!

Servpro responded quickly to a water leak from my upstairs neighbor that leaks into my condo. All of the work preformed was done quickly to reduce damage from the leak. The restoration was also efficient and the person assigned ot me, Johnny, was excellent. Delia Perez, my contact at the company, was excellent. She helped me resolve many billing questions. Be sure to check your estimates and make sure they match up to the work done. I had a number of estimate items that were not necessary and Dalia worked with me to make sure the final charges reflected the work done and were accurate. I give them 5 stars for the actual work, but only 3 stars for the estimate and billing departments. Delia gets 5 stars.

After experiencing unexpected water damage in our home, we contacted SERVPRO, and we couldn't be more pleased with their service. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way—from initial assessment and mitigation through to the final repairs. The crew arrived promptly, assessed the damage thoroughly, and immediately got to work with water extraction and drying. Their knowledge and professionalism gave us peace of mind during a very stressful time. Melissa walked us through the entire repair process clearly making sure we understood what to expect and when. Throughout the project, she maintained consistent contact, providing regular updates and making sure the final repairs—was completed on time and with attention to detail. Our home was restored to its original condition (if not better). Highly recommended for anyone needing water mitigation or restoration services. Trustworthy, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.

Alan Romero and his crew were “Johnny on the spot”. They arrived within 2 hours of the leak and prevented more damage. I would definitely recommend them.

I recently had a roof leak that caused damage to the interior walls and floor of my bedroom. Fortunately, I called Servpro for assistance, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Melissa, the project manager, was incredibly professional and efficient. She assessed the damage quickly and had the room gutted and repaired in no time at all. Not only did Servpro replace the flooring, but they also painted the room, leaving it in better shape than it was before! I also want to give a special shoutout to the contractor, Danny, who was a pleasure to work with. He paid great attention to detail, answered all my questions, and consistently went above and beyond all my expectations. Thank you, Servpro, for your outstanding service!

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.
