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 a pipe leak in our basement which caused significant water damage. After having two other contractors out to look at neither wanted to coordinate with our insurance for coverage. Rodeana - Servpro of Northeast Wichita came. She/Servpro worked closely with our insurance and communicated the progress or the lack of progress very clearly. (Insurance claims/processes can be very complex sometimes.) It was such a relief to feel like we had a capable and experienced representative and her communication was above and beyond. She answered every call, text and question even the ones late in the evening/after business hours. She was very kind and helpful and a pleasure to get to know. She had lots of contacts for various repair services …….. a guy to look at damage to our piano. Who knows all this stuff!! Even brought us a box of donuts during this stressful time. Thanks Rodeana and Servpro of Northeast Wichita.

Shout out to Rodeana and team. Apologies for not naming every individual here. The team did an excellent job. They responded quickly and they handled the job efficiently. We were trying to handle this ourselves and would’ve had a huge mess on our hands had we not contacted ServPro. I would highly recommend them anytime!

We have been beyond pleased with the incredible customer service, kindness, and understanding/explaining of the flooding of our basement. We have never experienced something like this before and Sarah kindly walked me through the process after hours! Michael was out within an hour of us calling to assess the situation! First thing this morning Sarah called to provide more guidance and information on the process and within 3 hours Carson and Cameron arrived to start the work! Hands down best experience we have ever had working with a company on a not fun situation! All throughout the day Carson and Cameron were able to answer any questions we had and Sarah and James and Michael also answered more questions from the office with such love, kindness, and patience! Thank you!

I had a fire in my garage that did a lot of damage. My house was full of smoke and black soot on everything. I didn't know where to start or what to do. My insurance agent referred me to Servpro of Northeast Wichita and the day I called Liz, their Project Manager came out right away and looked at the loss. I was worried about the garage door being removed by the fire department and people getting inside. Liz immediately dispatched their Production Manager Carson out to our home and he boarded up our garage the same day. Once insurance cleared our fire Liz, Carey, and Misty came out and they really went to work quickly. They took care of all of our burnt belongings and put together a photo inventory of everything. The next day their demo crew, Carson, Grant, and Bruce and they hauled all of our non-salvaged inventory to the dumpster and they gutted the entire inside of our garage including removing the insulation. Two days later the ladies showed up and they cleaned all of the soot out of the garage. The next 5 days the ladies cleaned every room of our house from ceiling to floor and they cleaned all of our belongings. I was amazed at the fast turn around and how they cleaned everything. The soot was gone, the smell of fire was gone and I was able to return home with my family. We are so very grateful for the team at Servpro of Northeast Wichita. This was a very stressful event in our lives and we would have been lost without their help. They were fast, efficient and really cared about our family. Thank you Liz for taking care of our family and thank you to your entire crew!

Rodeana at Servpro was excellent to work with. Very prompt, professional and knowledgeable and caring. My cement storage room and my finished carpeted basement were flooded. They got right on it which saved me tremendously. They even worked directly with my insurance co to get claim processed. The basement has no smell issues, no mold, new padding and they were able to save my plush carpet and baseboards. It looks like the damage never happened! I would recommend Rodeana and the Servpro team to everyone.

We had a water leak from our roof that caused damage next to our fireplace. Within an hour of calling, Rodeana was out with a moisture sensor to tell us exactly where the leak was, and was problem solving how to remediate immediately. We were very concerned because our son has severe asthma - her team wasted no time and made sure that there was as dehumidifier, air scrubber, and the cleanest remediation options available right away! Not to mention, this was the week after a huge rainstorm and a few days before July 4th. They didn't miss a beat on making us feel like the top priority, and when you're responding to home issues, having a team like this makes things so much less scary. They were precise and encouraging, and got us a quote that was well under what we thought we'd spend to resolve things. They were professional, communicative, and I can't say enough about how happy we are that the leak is fixed, but even more happy that if we ever have another issue, we have a trusted team to call on!

Nothing but great things to say! The estimator, Carson, was an amazing guy, gave us a competitive, fair price for mold removal/remediation work needing to be performed. Servpro was easy to schedule service, informative, personable, and competitive in pricing and quality. I'd highly recommend them for any mold/water remediation needs!

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.
