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.

So this is my review for Servpro. Let me start by saying that nobody wants to call Servpro because that means there's a problem in your house but, I am extremely happy I did call Servpro. They're going to be a couple Simpsons references in this review so if you don't watch them you might not understand what I'm saying. In December of 2025 I purchased a new toilet from a big box store. Their name rhymes with what Homer Simpson always says Doh. So Doh's sends out an installer we will call him Cletus the slack jawed yokal. He never did tell me his name never gave me a business card but I am sure he signs his name with an X. Well Cletus didn't do the best job and 30 days after the install the wax ring failed. I called out a Master plumber with 25 years of experience. He pulled the toilet up and told me Cletus did a very poor job. My master plumber was able to put the toilet back down so it didn't leak but, he did say that the subfloor was wet and it would probably be a good idea to call someone for some remediation. Now that was the last thing I wanted to do. But I am very thankful and grateful that I did call Servpro. I put in a call to them and told them what the situation was and they had a crew out to my house in about 90 minutes. Everyone I dealt with at Servpro was service oriented and very professional. They always did a good job and cleaned up and made a bad situation as good as it could be. They came in and they measured with their meters and said yes you do have water problems and at that time they brought in two dehumidifiers and two air scrubbers one set for the bathroom where the problem was at and one set for the basement below. The two people I worked with the most were Stanley the guy at the office. He was great and always worked with my schedule for getting crews out to do work. Stanley was always responsive to my emails and texts and always answered the phone I really could not ask for more from this gentleman. The person that I worked with the most on the crews doing the work was the crew with the Foreman Alex. Alex and his crew did the bulk of the heavy lifting. They had to cut out drywall took up tile and subfloor. They installed plastic containment to keep the dust and dirt down. They followed the evidence they would use their meters to determine the extent of the water damage. I'm very grateful to them because they kept my family safe and in our house and we did not have to go to a hotel or apartment. It took about 10 days to get everything dried out. At which point they pulled their equipment out. I wish I could say it was like they were never there but they did cut holes in the floors and the walls and the ceilings but that was all in the course of doing a thorough professional job. I'm now starting the process of putting everything back the way it was. But I would give Servpro an A+ five-star rating and I would recommend them without any hesitation. With the caveat that of course you don't want them out but if you do have a problem then definitely give them a call.

I reached out to Servpro about renovating and some upgrades. She was transparent with pricing and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The repairs were quality. The foreman Debbie was great with keeping me updated. Would highly recommend them for any type of work in your home!

My rental property was flooded by a water line that broke on the upstairs floor while the tenants were gone on vacation. Needless to say, not only was the upstairs flooded, but the water also flooded the downstairs. I was desperate for help cleaning up the mess and contacted Servpro. They sent a crew out that very same morning and began work on drying out and removing all ruined drywall, cabinets, etc. The crew was so courteous and polite. They were extremely neat and clean. They worked hard and quickly to help my house dry out before any damage by mold could start. I hope that I never need a water mitigation company again...but if I do...I will be calling Servpro.

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.
