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 a water emergency at an apartment building I own on a Sunday night while I was out of town. My tenant was understandably frantic because water was dripping into her closet, and I was trying to manage everything remotely. SERVPRO responded quickly and helped calm the situation. They explained everything to my tenant, reassured her, and even provided boxes so she could clear her clothes out of the closet. Those little things really made a difference during a stressful situation! From start to finish, they navigated me seamlessly and kept me informed every step of the way. Marco did a great job setting up and monitoring the drying equipment, and the team was clean, professional, and respectful of the property. Their communication was excellent—not only with me, but internally amongst themselves. Aibi, Veronica, Kathy, Amy and everyone involved were responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. This team made the emergency situation much easier to handle. I’m very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them!

We had an excellent experience with SERVPRO of Pasadena North and I strongly recommend them. From beginning to end, everyone we worked with was consistently pleasant, responsive, and communicative. I always knew what was happening, what the next steps were, and whenever I had a question or concern, I received a call back right away. What impressed me most was how much they advocated for our home during the insurance process. Their team identified more water damage than the insurance adjuster initially planned to allow for, and they took the initiative to meet with the adjuster at our home and explain why additional demolition was necessary. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing that someone knowledgeable was making sure the damage was addressed properly rather than simply accepting the initial assessment. Water damage and dealing with insurance can be incredibly confusing and stressful, and throughout the entire process I felt that SERVPRO was honest, straightforward, and looking out for our best interests. I never felt like they were trying to upsell us or recommend work that wasn't necessary. Instead, I felt like we had a team we could genuinely trust. Their communication, professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to advocate for us made a stressful situation so much easier to navigate. I would absolutely use SERVPRO of Pasadena North again and highly recommend them to anyone dealing with water damage or restoration work.

I called Servpro of Pasadena North to assess some dark areas on the baseboards in a condominium I was listing. Sure enough it was mold and needed to be remediated prior to putting the home on the market. The team was quick, and patient and respectful to my elderly seller, and the office staff was wonderful. I highly recommend this Servpro to anyone needing their services.

We were originally assigned to the Burbank office for our water damage and they were the worst. Completely unresponsive and never got anything done for months. Then, we finally called ServPro Pasadena and asked them to take over. They quickly took care of everything the right way and communicated with us throughout the whole process. I would recommend this location to anyone.

We had the best experience working with Servpro after our bathroom experienced water damage and had to be restored. Javier and Enrique came through every single day and worked tirelessly for essentially a whole month, while the additional contractors and experts Servpro recommended helped make sure every facet of the project was done with the utmost professionalism and specialization. The end result was excellent and we couldn't recommend Servpro enough!

Andy and his crew were hired to replace my insulation after the Eaton Fire. The company my insurance company recommended and hired to do the post fire remediation removed the attic insulation but failed to mention they never replaced it. I got approval for ServePro to finish what was left undone. Andy showed up early and he and his crew completed the work promptly. He showed me pictures of the completed work. Everyone on his crew was friendly, polite and hard working. I would highly recommend them and give them ten stars if I could. Thank you. You guys are the best.

Servpro did an amazing job for us! We had water damage in our bathroom and they helped with every aspect from the water remediation, demo, re-construction, and even with insurance. Everybody on their team from the water remediation/demo team to the super hard working construction team was amazing. We really appreciate all the hard work and will recommend them to everybody.

After the fire danger was over, I knew I had to get my house and property cleaned for smoke, sut damage, and contamination. I didn't exactly know who to call for such services. I saw the green vehicles and crews of ServPro in many locations in the city performing cleaning and restorations for other homeowners. So, I gave them a call to start the process. The folks at ServPro really knew their stuff on how to handle a variety of situations. This put me at ease that I had made the right call. Their people answered all my questions and always kept me informed. They handled all the paperwork and interactions with my insurance company. Their people working in the field at my house were experienced, careful, efficient and very well organized. Their people in the field also answered any questions I had regarding the packing up & cleaning process. Seeing how they worked and stayed on schedule put my mind at ease that this job was going to get done right. When the job was done my attic was clean with new insulation, new ac ducting, all the rooms were cleaned, the furnace and ac were cleaned tuned up and tested, and new flooring for the bedrooms was installed. Once done they brought back all of our stuff from the pack out. Our house pretty much looked like it did when we first moved in so many years ago. Almost a brand-new home. All the folks in the office and the field crews worked hard, quickly and efficiently to get me and my dad back into our home. They truly made a very stressful event in our lives as smooth as possible. It also helps to be calm and patient because this is not a "one and you're and done" kind of job. It's truly a process. All of the people at ServPro had our back and I am thankful for all of their hard work and the services they provided. I would recommend these folks to anyone who is in need of their services.

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.
