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.

I had to have ServePro come out and do a massive cleanup from a hoarding situation left by a Tenant and ServePro was amazing! Lacey.B called me as soon as the invoice was paid and talked to me about the process. She and her team worked very hard considering the condition of the house. They are compassionate, empathetic, punctual and dedicated! Lacey. R did an amazing job cleaning up what was left and made the house look fantastic! I highly recommend them! The owner even stopped by to see how things were going!

Servpro did a great job! Logan Zebarah Reconstruction manager was a pleasure to work with. Coming right out to Adrian to give a repair estimate to my insurance company. For repairs of water damage/ roof damage from the storm. Professional/friendly and even answered his phone after hours. Dave from Servpro was great also. Came right out with fans and dehumidifiers to dry out interior. Came back everyday to test for moisture.This company was great along with all their people. I highly recommend them! Thanks Craig

I really can't say enough good things about the team here. We had a water pipe burst in our basement. I called after hours and Lacey the PM called me back within 5 minutes. I asked if they could come out the next morning. They said they would be there at 8:30AM and at 8:29AM they pulled into the driveway. 4 hours later the damage was cleaned up. They were on time to the minute in their scheduling and their communication was excellent every step of the way. When you call, a person actually answers the phone which is unheard of nowadays.

We called Servpro for an issue with our home that required a specialized company but we hired Servpro to manage the project. Heath, our project manager, was amazing! Heath is the guy to lead your projects! He was very friendly yet professional. His communication skills are excellent. He was on top of every detail and responded promptly to all of my questions and to every issue that came up. It was a pleasure working with Heath and Servpro! I highly recommend them.

Excellent service and communication. Came home from work one night to a flooded house. I called my insurance company who immediately contacted Serv Pro and although it was later in the evening, Lacey with Serv Pro called me within minutes. She and a crew were out to my house first thing the next morning. They worked diligently, patiently answered my questions, and did a fantastic and thorough job. Some aspects of the clean up were pretty disgusting, but they were friendly and cheerful every step of the way. Lacey, Steven and Derek were wonderful and I credit them with turning around one of the biggest disasters of my life.

Heath, our reconstruction manager was amazing. He was available for calls or texting (even though I was not physically able to be in Battlecreek). He shared photos, asked me great questions, checked on the quality with me. Overall, just an amazing guy. His leadership skills came to bear on our project and I am over the moon to have been able to work with him.

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.
