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.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse flooded our unit, we immediately contacted ServPro of Santa Clarita for mitigation and restoration. Their team arrived within two hours with blowers and dehumidifiers and began mitigation right away. John Werner served as our primary contact and was an outstanding partner throughout the process. Once we learned ServPro also handled restoration, choosing them for the full end-to-end project was an easy decision. We worked closely with Hector Chirinos on reconstruction, and he offered excellent guidance while recommending trusted partners for additional work we wanted done. The ServPro team—John, Hector, and Ellie—was professional, responsive, and courteous. We highly recommend ServPro for restoration and reconstruction needs.

Five stars for William at Serpro Santa Clarita. Professional, honest and knowledgeable, hopefully I don’t need Serpro’s services again but if I do I won’t bother calling the competition. We used this company last year and I can’t fault them.

This was an easy, single phone call to solve a flood at my property. Will was very easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable about the projection of managing this problem. I would definitely recommend using this company because of how easy everything was.

Great company. Great choice! -Had some water damage in the kitchen that resulted in likely microbial growth. Called a few companies to come out and look. Servpro picked up on the first call. Spoke with John and he was able to gather all the information he needed and sent a technician out the next day. -Will came out the following day to take a look at the damage. Super professional and gave a realistic outlook of the situation. He explained the standard protocol for situations like this and was able to give a rough timeline of things. He was extremely detailed and gave a full report and quote the following morning. -We had a couple of quotes that were lower than what Servpro gave, but we trusted Servpro to do the job correctly according to industry standards. No cut corners, no unexpected expenses. -Will's team (Jaden and ?Gerald?) came out according to our schedule/availability and did exactly what Will told us would happen. Both super professional as well. -Will was super receptive to any questions we had and was able to keep us in the loop about what was happening/when they would return/etc. It was a no brainer to go with SERVPRO.

Will and his crew definitely know what to do! Having a flood in your home is absolute disaster with so many negative emotions but these guys made us feel like everything was going to be okay. I applaud and appreciate them for their efforts and support.

I found what looked like mold in my guest room closet (likely caused by moisture from a nearby shower with poor ventilation) and reached out to Servpro. I spoke with John, who was able to come out the same day, even earlier than originally scheduled. John was communicative, honest, and friendly throughout. More importantly, I felt like he genuinely had my best interests in mind. Instead of using the situation to scare me or find reasons to charge for services I didn't need, he gave me an honest assessment and a solution that ended up costing me nothing. Finding mold is unsettling by nature, and it would have been easy for someone to take advantage of that. It's rare to find a person who prioritizes giving you the right answer over what benefits their bottom line. To me, that's the most trustworthy and honorable way to do business, and I'd recommend John and Servpro SCV to anyone dealing with a similar issue.

The team from Servpro were excellent when we needed them most. Their team came out at 1am to board up our door after it was broken into. The team was friendly and respectful and did their best to solve our problem quickly. They have also worked with our insurance company to get invoices reimbursed. We can't thank you all enough!

Rolando and Gerald are the best. They helped save my mother‘s house from water damage and worked very hard and we’re very conscientious of leaving everything in great shape would highly recommend.

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.
