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.

SERVPRO of Southeast Long Beach/Belmont Shores handled water damage and mold remediation at my 100-year-old Long Beach home, and I can't recommend them highly enough. This is a family owned and operated business, and it shows in how they work. They were extremely collaborative from the first call through final clearance. When rain moved in mid-project, they walked me through exactly how they were going to protect the house. When we uncovered pests behind a wall, they stopped, explained what we were looking at, and helped me figure out the right next step instead of just working around it. That kind of communication during the process is rare, and it made a stressful situation manageable. They clearly know what they're doing, and just as important, they can explain it. Every decision came with the reasoning behind it, in plain language, so I always understood what was happening in my own home and why. They were genuinely passionate about getting us through mold air clearance testing — not just passing it, but doing the work right so there was no question about the result. We passed. They also treated my possessions and my house like they were their own. Careful with everything, clean at the end of every day, no shortcuts in the places nobody would have seen. If you need emergency services, water damage cleanup, or mold remediation in the Long Beach area, call Jack and his team. For those that care about this: my dog Athena (who does not like everyone) absolutely loved the full family, and she was excited whenever her friends came over.

Had a great experience with Christian and Jaqueline. They were very professional and efficient in analyzing our mold situation using their instruments and taping off the affected areas. When they learned we wanted to redesign our closet and laundry room, they advised us directly and honestly about the most affordable and efficient approach, even though that meant we should work with a different service provider. They are not only great at what they do but they are also very nice people.

Jack, Christian and Jacklyn did a great job helping with the remediation job we needed when we had a leak from an upstairs neighbor. They carefully explained everything they were going to do and handled the job courteously and professionally. I would highly recommend them.

I had an issue with water spilling onto the passenger floor of my car, and I was in a pretty desperate situation trying to figure out what to do. I spoke with Jack, and he took the time out of his day to give me kind, considerate, and careful advice. He genuinely cared about helping me instead of just rushing me off the phone. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to avoid a much bigger problem and saved hundreds of dollars. Exceptional customer service like this is hard to find these days. I truly appreciate the help and highly recommend this company!

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.
