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.

Recently I had a sewer main backup which did significant damage to my basement. After the problem was fixed, I contacted Servpro of Haverhill. They were outstanding from the beginning to the end. Servpro worked with me assessing the damage and what needed to be done. The cleanup was done promptly and the team that was sent to my home was outstanding. They did an excellent job of cleaning the basement and also kept in touch with any questions or concerns. I would not hesitate to contact them if ever needed in the future. Thank you!!!

Chris, Nick, Jheremy, Wander, and Keagan did an outstanding job with our remediation work in the basement after the furnace leak caused water and mold damage. They were timely, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful during this stressful time, making the process much easier to manage. I truly appreciate their assistance and support and will definitely use Servpro again in the future if needed.

Great experience. All techs were professional; they came quickly to assess water damage, dry, treat and remove debris. Bobby, the lead tech on the crew was particularly knowledgeable and responsible for clean, neat work in their sealed environment. Both the project mgr Chris and estimator Nick were very responsive and available for questions. I would highly recommend.

A Truly Exceptional Experience with SERVPRO Our home was devastated by a fire, and we found ourselves facing the daunting task of rebuilding. From start to finish, SERVPRO has been nothing short of outstanding. The professionalism, expertise, and genuine care shown by their team made what could have been a stressful, overwhelming process much more manageable. A special thank you to Noel Torrissi, the construction manager, who coordinated the entire rebuild seamlessly. His attention to detail and excellent communication made all the difference. We were continuously impressed with the skill and craftsmanship of everyone involved—from the carpenters to the painters and beyond. Each person played a crucial role in bringing our home back to life. Thanks to SERVPRO, we are finally back in our beautiful, restored home. We are deeply grateful for their hard work, dedication, and the incredible customer care we received throughout the entire process. Without a doubt, we would recommend SERVPRO to anyone in need of their services.

We recently called SERVPRO to remediate a moisture issue that had the potential for fungal growth in our unit. Wanting to stay ahead of any negative outcome, we acted immediately, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. From the initial quote to the completion of the work, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Within a week, the team came out, quarantined, treated the area, and cleaned up the site—all in a very timely manner. The crew was not only fast but also friendly, taking the time to answer any questions we had. We appreciated the site supervisor coming out to check in and ensure everything was going smoothly, showing a level of care that you don’t always see. When we had a billing question, it was addressed promptly and professionally, making the entire experience seamless. For anyone hesitant about reaching out to SERVPRO, we highly recommend giving them a call. Their process from start to finish is straightforward, and you can trust that you’ll be well taken care of.

I would highly recommend and use Servpro in the future. Nicholas was our Estimator and Bobby & Jason were our technicians. They were all fantastic! They were punctual, polite and very professional.

The Servpro team from the Haverhill/Newburyport outlet were outstanding. Jason, Bobby, and Yeimi were complete professionals during the entire process. They explained exactly what they were doing and what to expect each step of the way. The project manager Chris visited our home each day to check in on the team for quality control. Most impressive and valuable part of the experience was how closely worked with the insurance company. We really felt they were ONE integrated team constantly in communication with each other. In the beginning we were very nervous about the project due to the large amount of water damage in the bathroom and garage ceiling. By the time the project was over, me and my wife could not be more happier about the outcome. The team and Chris did an outstanding job making us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this high functioning team.

Bobby and Justin came out to my house and were professional and experienced. They left my house neat and tidy after the work and were always ready to help answer my questions. If anyone reading this needs help with a situation like I had (pipe fails in the wall…) I recommend this team! Thanks also to Nicholas and Chris for helping to line this all up! Prompt, timely, neat, and professional!!!

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.
