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.

Today I had the privilege of meeting Cole and Chris from Servpro. I recently had a fire in my kitchen,which of course affected my whole house. These gentlemen came to do the process of cleanup. I was very overwhelmed by what needed to happen. They arrived on time, walked me through what they would be doing with much kindness. I was so relieved by the professional manner and attention to detail they showed. They have made this very trying experience much easier. Thank you both !! S.Mathews.

ServPro came out very quickly. They set up several fans to dry wet walls & cabinets. They put down heavy duty paper to protect areas where the cabinets were to be placed. They came out every day to check on conditions. Throughout this process they were totally professional in their work habits and demeanor, but never lost sight of being courteous to the customer. Highly recommend them.

Chris Session is hands down the best! So responsive and available for my questions. Even on his day off he took my call and was always kind and professional. I would work with Serv Pro again just because of how easy it was to work with him.

Thus far, we have been thoroughly satisfied and appreciative of the professionalism, performance and personal interaction of the ServPro Team. Brittany, Chris Session, Kris, Cathy, Gabrielle, and Diego have worked tirelessly to get us back into our home in a brief period of time. Attentive to detail and keeping us abreast of the process, they seemed to take special interest in ensuring that the job is done righ. I don’t ever want to experience anything like this (FIRE) again, BUT if I do, I’d like the same team working on our home. Their attitudes, while performing each task.was truly impressive. Thank you ServPro.

The plastic water supply line for my ice maker failed resulting in 2” of water throughout the entire first floor. Kris and his onsite team as well as Project Manager Tom did an excellent job onsite of drying out the home and regularly communicated progress and status.

My outside faucet broke inside the wall, flooding my living room & much of my house. I also had to have emergency shut off the water, as my shut valve had been broken & I didn't get around to repairing it. I called a plumber & by recomendation, I called ServPro. They rolled up & Kris reassured me they can dry everything, started drying my big rugs right away. He was very knowledgable & understanding. They set up the equipment & informed me of the moisture reading, each day. After the second day. It was in the safe zones. I know they arrived so quickly & with my state of mind, were able to do what was necessary, to save my home. Thank you Linda F.

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.
