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.

Mary and Ozzie and team were so fantastic to work with! The highest level of customer care and they were so communicative with updates. It was a rather large and long job, and they sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend them more highly!

Our condominium recently sustained water and mold damage when the condominium above ours leaked down into our unit. We required both mold remediation/mitigation, and remodeling and rebuilding after the water damage and mold. They had to demo, remove and replace several walls, part of the ceiling, and all of the flooring throughout the entire unit. The team assigned my project was Mary V and Ozzie. Mary was our project coordinator and Ozzie was our guy in the ground doing all the work with his crew. Mary was A pleasure to deal with. She was easy to get in touch with responded quickly and was on top of the project the whole time. She provided frequent updates and photos, and kept me abreast of where we were in the projected timeline the entire time. Ozzie was our guy doing the work. Here again, I could not be happier. Everything looked great, they were respectful of both the property and my possessions within the condominium that they were moving around while they were doing work and they didn’t run a foul of any of the buildings ridiculous rules. Once again, I was extremely happy with both Mary and Ozzie. They were courteous, professional, easy to deal with, and just plain nice.

I had SERVPRO clean the vents in our office, and they exceeded expectations. The technicians arrived on time, were courteous and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what they would be doing. They worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail, and they treated our workspace with care throughout the process. The difference after the cleaning was noticeable, and the entire experience was smooth and professional. It's refreshing to work with a company that delivers exactly what it promises. I would gladly use SERVPRO again and recommend them to other businesses looking for vent or duct cleaning services.

Don’t bother looking anywhere else, Servpro of Brickell is seriously the best! Had a water damage emergency in my kitchen, and Ozzie promised someone would be there within the hour. He wasn’t kidding. Super fast, super professional, and really easy to work with. 10/10 across the board, can’t recommend them enough.

Guerby’s calm demeanor and ability to defuse complex situations involving a post hurricane condo association with high tensions proved paramount. He was always readily available to speak and explain the process and remediation. He displayed exquisite managerial skills over his team to perform the job in an environment with limited space and for elderly clients, leading them through every step of the way. Although no one wants to deal with remediation, if you ever find yourself in need of this service, I highly recommend Guerby and his team to provide quality service, communication and workmanship throughout the process.

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.
