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.

We had SERVPRO come out to perform mold remediation in our basement after significant water damage, and we were very pleased with the service they provided. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the remediation process and answer our questions. They were thorough in addressing the mold-affected areas and made sure the basement was properly treated and cleaned. After everything we had already been through with the flooding and damage to our home, it was reassuring to have a company come in that knew exactly what needed to be done. The crew was courteous, respectful of our home, and kept us informed throughout the process. We really appreciated their attention to detail and the peace of mind they gave us knowing the mold issue had been professionally addressed. I would definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone dealing with water damage or mold remediation. Thank you to the entire team for helping us get our basement one step closer to being back to normal!

They brought equipment to the house and checked on it every now and then. As far as actual clean up, we had all of that work ourselves. The employees were good at the start and so-so in the end. Overall the price was reasonable for the short notice. In response to your post, the overall service wasn't an issue. The job was done as discussed. We did the clean up and were told that the company had a lot of places dealing with bigger issues. That was totally fine and understood so that was a factual statement above that could've been misinterpreted. Calls were made to check on the status of the situation and were replied to all but one time that was missed. As far as daily checks not happening because you couldn't reach us, I wouldn't try to use that. We had conversations with the guy that helped us. Some of the calls were to come by to check things out and the others were to let us know they couldn't make it due to other jobs being bigger issues. Once again, it was totally fine due to the flooding that had happen. At no point did I feel like we were neglected in the process and I completely understood that other people were dealing with much worse things than us. The employees were very friendly and professional so maybe good wasn't the right term. The so-so portion was my final conversation that was just a "Can we come get our stuff?" That was literally all that was said by your associate during that call. Then when they came to pick, not a word was spoken by that associate. Just walked in grabbed the equipment and walked out. The other employee was friendly during the visit though. I didn't need a full conversation during the visit but the way it happen was an issue. It was probably a had to be there moment which you were not and that is okay. I was just putting it out there. Your office worker was absolutely friendly and professional when I came it pay the invoice, which was a great end to the process. Basically I get it was a historic event that unfolded as you stressed during your reply. I'm not saying this business shouldn't be used because they were fast and helpful during the process. Other places asked for almost triple what I was offered as a price. We were thankful for the service they provided during our situation. Just needed to clarify some things and address the slightly sarcastic reply. After thinking about it, a rating of 3 is low for the minimal issues that occurred.

I cannot say enough good things about the service, honesty, and attention we received from SERVPRO of New Castle. Our situation happened during what felt like the storm of the century, with extensive flooding throughout our town, so I knew their team had to be completely overwhelmed helping people dealing with serious water damage. At the same time, we were in the middle of selling our home, and the buyer’s inspection raised a questionable concern about possible mold in our crawl space. Everything with a home sale is time sensitive, so I went directly to the SERVPRO office and explained the situation to Jessi. From that first interaction, she was wonderful. She listened to what was happening, understood why we needed an answer quickly, and spoke with her team to see what they could do. Considering everything they were dealing with because of the storms, I was honestly amazed and extremely grateful that they made arrangements to come to our home the very next day for a complete inspection. Roy was the person who came out, and I could not have asked for anyone better. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and did everything with a smile. More importantly, he was thorough and honest. He knew we were selling our home, knew we were under a time constraint, and knew that I was concerned about the possibility of mold. It would have been very easy for someone in that situation to tell me there was mold and turn it into a large remediation job. Instead, Roy took his time and went throughout the entire crawl space. He scraped and tested the questionable areas rather than simply looking at them and making an assumption. After carefully inspecting everything, he determined that there was no mold. What the buyer’s inspection had questioned was actually residual staining from a previous professional treatment, along with baking soda my husband had added at that time to help absorb the remaining odor. Roy could have easily taken advantage of our situation, especially knowing how important it was for us to resolve the issue quickly so our home sale could move forward, but he did exactly the opposite. He gave us an honest assessment even though that meant there was no remediation job for SERVPRO to perform. That says a tremendous amount about Roy and about the company he represents. There are not many companies anymore where you can walk through the door during an extremely stressful situation and genuinely feel that the people helping you are looking out for you rather than looking for a way to make more money from the problem. From Jessi taking our situation seriously and finding a way to get someone to us so quickly during widespread flooding, to Roy being incredibly thorough, professional, and honest during the inspection, every person I had contact with treated us exceptionally well. SERVPRO of New Castle made a stressful situation much easier, and I would recommend them without hesitation. This is exactly the kind of local company I want to turn to when I need help because I know I am dealing with people I can trust.

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.
