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.

I had the opportunity to work alongside the team at SERVPRO of Dunedin/Palm Harbor South on a recent project and wanted to recognize the professionalism displayed throughout the job. Special thanks to Artem Troy and Tina Wagner for their leadership, coordination, and clear communication from start to finish. Their organization and responsiveness made collaboration smooth and efficient for all vendors involved. I also want to recognize the on-site crew members whose professionalism, work ethic, and respectful manner toward both the property and everyone on site truly stood out. It’s always appreciated working with a team that maintains strong standards and represents the restoration industry well. Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and looking forward to working together again in the future. — Tony Clark, Owner | SureVentz

I have been closely working with the team over at Servpro of Clearwater North for the last 6 months on the mitigation, remediation, and reconstruction of my kitchen. During that time the team have Servpro have been incredible to work with. They are thorough, detailed, and deeply caring about the quality of the work. They have also been incredibly supportive and arguing with the insurance company on my behalf to ensure that the costs are almost 100% covered. The have gone above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with even the finest little detail in the work; and they have truly walked me through the process every step of the way. The team is incredibly professional and I couldn't imagine having gone with anybody else. To Art, the owner, Danyah, David, Dena, David, and everyone else I worked with thank you so much.

My husband recently passed away. After cleaning the room, there was a strong smell. After trying everything I knew, I called ServPro, and spoke with Tina. Not only was she kind and professional, but she recommended I remove mattress, and then asked that I call back to make sure all was well. Can’t say thank you enough!

Servpro saved me a *lot* of damage and repair work when my washing machine flooded my condo. Their technicians Ermin and Joe showed up within an hour and a half, late at night, and set up equipment for three and a half days’ of water mitigation and drying work. I’d strongly recommend using ServPro if you need that sort of work done, and I’m grateful to both the company and Erwin and Joe.

Professional employees. Employee drilled hole in wall and hit electric line. Company called electrician, repaired drywall and painted. Billing is evasive, charge to move stove which they didn’t move was questioned and removed among other charges. Accidents happen and they took care of it all and met my time constraints.

Thank you and an extra hurrah for doing a fine job. You are prompt, professional and most informative assessing the problem and a solution. Job well done.

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.
