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.

ServPro of Saugus cleaned a house for us that had trash up to the ceilings, tobacco stains on the walls, mold, water damage, etc. The manager of the project, John, worked with us to be sure we got everything we needed and wanted. The crew, Nick and Gage, did an amazing job, above and beyond what we could have expected. Nick and Gage were extremely professional, polite and just excellent people. They came every day with a smile and did the work that not many people would want to do. They also knew we were planning an estate sale, and they thoughtfully saved items that may have been sentimental or valuable for us. Nick and Gage successfully turned this house back into the beautiful house it used to be, and brought some light into a tough situation for myself and my family.

Called in complete panic mode after a water main break flooded our home. Firefighter on site suggested I call ServPro asap. I did and it was the best decision. They arrived quickly and immediately went to work. Within days the wet items were removed and dehumidifiers were running. My insurance adjuster showed up, said he’s worked with them before and they’re on the same page. It’s been a couple weeks and we’re on to reconstruction. While I hope a disaster never hits anyone reading this, if it does, call these guys. They can’t remove all the stress but they remove a good bit of it.

We woke up to an unexpected sound in our basement and discovered that our hot water heater was leaking everywhere. I immediately called Servpro, and their team arrived promptly. They quickly stopped the water flow and expertly cleaned up the mess. I couldn't be more pleased with their service and professionalism. I highly recommend Servpro of Saugus to anyone in need of help. Thank you for your outstanding work!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Tom Heenan. We had severe damage due to a burst pipe in the winter while we were away. Tom came to our house to check out the damage and assured us that Servpro would take care of us. Tom's crew came out and they were polite and respectful of our property. Tom's crew worked diligently to clean the water damage in a timely matter. We couldn't have gotten through this incident without Tom Heenan.

We had an exceptional experience with Servpro Saugus for my boyfriends parents house. There was some mold in the basement from previous water leak. The guys came out right away, gave us an estimate and started the work shortly there after. Everything they did exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend them for any mold damage or water damage!

When our crawlspace flooded, Jamaree and Noe were there at the drop of a hat and had us taken care of despite the late time and moments notice. Bailey reassured us and assessed the needs for the project to make sure we were well taken care of. Literally, 10/10.

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.
