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.

We’ve had a very positive experience with SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea so far after discovering water and mold damage in our kitchen. Richard Prado was professional, thorough, and very helpful during the initial inspection. He carefully checked the affected areas, explained what needed to be removed and dried, and walked us through the mitigation process clearly and patiently. Kevin Gomez has also been excellent to work with on the reconstruction side. He has been very responsive, gets back to us quickly, and has provided clear planning and a detailed estimate for the repair work. We really appreciate how efficiently he and his team have communicated and how willing they have been to answer our questions and work through the details with us. The mitigation crew also arrived as scheduled and handled the work carefully, including containment and preserving as much as possible. Water damage is stressful, but Richard, Kevin, and the SERVPRO team have made the process much easier through their professionalism, responsiveness, and clear communication. We really appreciate their help and would highly recommend them.

My property sustained water damage that requires full mitigation and restoration services. I am so pleased to have found this Servpro team right in my neighborhood. Although this project requires multiple phases to restore my property to its original condition, I am already impressed by the performance of Project Manager Richard Prado and his team. The team—Arnulfo, Librado, and Jason—provided/is providing outstanding mitigation services. They also completed a seamless packout alongside Javier, who stepped in to help his teammates with the heavy lifting. Everyone on the team maintains an excellent work attitude and is professionally courteous. Based on my personal interactions with these great individuals, Richard, and Arely (who provides excellent administrative support), I have total confidence that the remaining phases of the project will be completed flawlessly. Special thanks to Arnulfo for his exceptionally kind and professional service so far!

I had a wonderful experience with Kevin and Claudia. They came to our home twice within the same month for two separate water damage issues, and both times they were incredibly professional, punctual, respectful, and thorough. They were very communicative throughout the entire process, paid close attention to every detail, and treated our home with great care. They were also very kind and polite, and I really appreciated that they spoke Spanish with me, which made the experience even easier and more comfortable. Kevin and Claudia truly went above and beyond, and I’m very grateful for the excellent service they provided. Thank you both for a job well done! ♥️ I would absolutely recommend them!

Absolutely 5-Star Service! We had a fire in our attic, and SERVPRO was dispatched by our home insurance provider. From the very beginning, we were impressed by their professionalism and the way they worked as a team. Richard was our project manager, and after his initial inspection, Javier came out to confirm his evaluation. We really appreciated the thoroughness and attention to detail throughout the process. Arnulfo and Librado worked incredibly hard to complete the mitigation and remediation work. We are now entering the second phase, which involves repairs, and we will be using SERVPRO for that work as well. Arnulfo and Librado were EXCELLENT! They arrived promptly each day and worked tirelessly throughout an intense heatwave. On one of the days, temperatures reached 107 degrees, yet they continued working with the same dedication and professionalism. They were trustworthy, respectful, and took exceptional care with our furniture and personal belongings. During an already stressful situation, their hard work and attention to our property made everything a little easier. I cannot thank Arnulfo and Librado enough for thier work. I would definitely recommend SERVPRO, especially Arnulfo and Librado, and Ricahrd to anyone who needs fire restoration or remediation services. Five stars all around!

Called Serv pro on labor day, had a bathroom flood out into bedroom and living room. They were on site in less than an hour extracting water. They moved all items they could out of the water to minimize further damage and put the heavier furniture and bed up on blocks. Great experience, communication all the way though til end of project. Thanks Kevin!!!!

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.
