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.

All the staff that I dealt with at Servpro were professional and efficient. From the administrative staff who coordinated the appointments over the phone to the staff coming to my home to do the drying and removing the damaged floors and walls. They communicated well, would send me updates and did a great job of preparing my home for the restoration. We are ready for the restoration now thanks to them. A special thank you to Shannon, Jacob, Moises and Jesse for going above and beyond the call of duty.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Askari Sheldon. He was a true asset to your team. Askari was incredibly polite, efficient, and accommodating throughout the packing and moving process. He arrived on time, and even though he was waiting for the rest of the team, he didn't hesitate to start working and did a fantastic job independently. He patiently answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. I was also very impressed that everything was left clean after they finished. Thank you again for sending such a dedicated and professional individual. I highly recommend Askari Sheldon and ServPro to anyone needing specially restoration services. Sincerely, Ana Alvarado

I had the greatest experience securing the services of ServPRO to help me with a mitigation/cleanup with a recent home flooding. They were extremely professional, courteous and helpful. Definitely saved me a ton of headache and time. Also was extremely instrumental in helping me navigate through all the insurance and regulatory challenges. They even helped me pack everything and put everything back together and I pretty much didn't have to lift a finger. Special shoutout to Shannon, Paul, and Askari. Couldn't ask for better services.

I Highly Recommend them to anyone needing water damage repair or restoration services.

About a week ago my apartment flooded. We called Servpro and walnut to come out and start with the cleanup. Since then, I’ve had someone come every morning to check in on the fans and dehumidifier and monitor the flooring. Chris stands out as he has been very prompt with getting things done. Him and his team demo the apartment underneath me which was damage due to my flood and we’re so quick and professional about it. Chris is courteous, very prompt and on time and extremely knowledgeable and checks in when I have a question. So if you ever need restoration work reach out to this team, they’re amazing.

We recently had the pleasure of working with SERVPRO for mold removal and remediation. Two of our three bathrooms were infested. I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they were courteous, prompt, professional, and incredibly thorough. Every team member was respectful of our home, kept the work area clean, and ensured we were updated at every stage of the demolition and clean-up process. A special shoutout to Shannon and her team—they were absolutely outstanding. Shannon led the project with clear communication, attention to detail, and a level of professionalism that gave us complete confidence in the work being done. It’s rare to find a team so punctual and dedicated to keeping clients informed every step of the way. Thanks again to Shannon and the entire SERVPRO "demo" crew for turning a stressful situation into a smooth and reassuring experience. Now, on to the next phase with SERVPRO... repair and restoration.

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.
