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 can't say enough what a difference it makes once Servpro is involved. The stress of the situation instantly gets better. The whole team, starting with the office staff is professional and they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Sadly, that is not always the case with other companies. Servpro is super responsive and genuinely care. And, they care about your property and take such good care of your stuff. They cover up everything and handle the breakables they may have to move, with care. Start to finish they take care of you. I so appreciate all they did for me. Made things so much easier during a really stressful time.

I had water damage and Servpro was called out . I am still waiting for the job to be completed but wanted to give a shout-out to Jason and Alan ! They were very responsive, professional, and helpful when walking me through the initial process of remediation . They always answered my questions and addressed my concerns.

Servpro was contracted through our insurance company after finding water damage in our house. Jason came out and set up fans and dehumidifiers in the areas that needed to be dried out. Even when our insurance was non-responsive, Jason checked in often to ensure the equipment was working correctly and that the areas were drying out as they should. Very good customer service!

I had water damage at my property due to a pipe overflow. My insurance company sent Servpro out to do some damage control. I’ve been working with Ally, Evelyn, and Jason from the Orange County office. All of them have been very nice on a personal level, responsive with communication, informative about the work that is needed, and very professional and prompt. Despite the unfortunate circumstances for which I needed their services, they’ve been a pleasure to work with!

I am extremely happy that Servpro Santa Ana was able to come to our office on such short notice to offer there sanitizing services. I spoke with Juan on Wednesday and he was able to come with his teammate Tomas today early in the morning before we opened, so our business could go on uninterrupted. They were on time, extremely professional, and so quick! Since we are considered an essential business we are in the office Monday through Saturday, thanks to Servpro Santa Ana we won’t have to close and we can continue business as normal on Monday. Thank you for keeping us safe during these difficult times Juan and Servpro Santa Ana! This State Farm team appreciates you guys so much!

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.
