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 is a company I would recommend to anyone in time of a disaster. I was recently on vacation in Europe when I received a call from my tenant in a house I was renting to. Since there was a 6 hour time difference and it was barely 9:00 AM my time, I knew there had to be a problem if he was calling me at 3:00 AM his time. As I suspected, there was: a flooded house caused by a faulty washing machine. I immediately called Servpro, which my renter had recommended, and asked how quickly someone could respond to my situation. I was told, within an hour. With the lack of good customer service today, I was doubtful this would actually happen so quickly. But, it did! Servpro showed up at 4:30 AM with a crew and over 50 fans to vacuum and start drying things up. Since this just happened, I don't know the full extent of the damage. However, I do know that my losses would have been significant, had it not been for the quick response and professionalism of this company. Five stars is not enough to express my gratitude!

I can't say enough about the job that Tim Kelly at ServPro did to arrange the repair of water damage in our home. Luis and co-worker were fantastic! Arrived when he said he would, polite, courteous, and did all that we needed. They we neat and clean and left our house in order. Also appreciated how quickly the project was completed. Loved that they helped us move the furniture back in the room. If I could give more stars I would. Would highly recommend this company! Thanks

John, Kyle & the rest of the team are amazing!! No one wants to deal with water in the house, but these guys made the process as easy & painless as possible. I truly hope I never have to see them again for emergency service 😂😂, but if needed, ServPro will be my first call!!

I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of each of the teams at Servpro. Each team member knew what was to be done and instantly started the work. As each part of the work was completed, the area was cleaned to perfection. I was constantly updated on the progress of the work and the next steps. I was always called before the team arrived and scheduled in advance. There are no long gaps in the work with Servpro. The emergency team was at our house within 40 minutes of our call. Three trucks worth of workers/equipment unloaded, assessed our situation and went to work. They did not stop until they were starting the dry out after clearing our flooded house. Each of the teams we have worked with have same attitude. This company and its people are amazing. Worth every penny. They WILL "Make it like it never even happed"

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.
