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 hope I never have to deal with another flood in my home, but if I do, I wouldn’t call anyone but SERVPRO. From the moment they arrived, they took control of an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation. Instead of feeling like we had to figure everything out ourselves, we immediately felt like we were in the best hands. They managed every detail, kept us informed, and were available 24/7 whenever we had questions or concerns. Keith Jackson, the owner, was absolutely amazing. He was hands-on, reassuring, and made us feel confident from day one that everything would be handled the right way. Ben, who managed our project, was outstanding. He kept everything moving on schedule, communicated constantly, and made what could have been a chaotic process feel organized and manageable. The flood caused extensive damage to our all-wood paneled library—one of the most beautiful rooms in our home. The craftsmanship and attention to detail their team showed was remarkable. They carefully removed the woodwork with incredible precision and then put everything back together flawlessly. We also have hand-painted maps on our ceiling that are irreplaceable, and they took extraordinary care to remove and preserve them. It was clear that they treated our home as if it were their own. Everyone on the team was kind, professional, and genuinely cared about doing the job right. They stuck to the schedule they promised, were responsive 24/7, and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. We are beyond grateful for everything they did. They turned one of the most stressful experiences our family has ever faced into one where we felt supported, informed, and completely taken care of. I recommend Keith, Ben, and the entire SERVPRO team without hesitation. They are simply the best.

Steve at ServPro was incredible to work with. We had a rain storm flood our garage and basement. Upon arrival they quickly worked with me and the insurance adjuster to get our house dry and in a better place. The communication was terrific during the entire process. They also made to leave our home as clean as possible each day after they left. I would strongly recommend Dave O’Hara ServPro team in Mount Ephraim/Bellmawr as the team to call when you run into issues.

After a recent water issue in my home (thankfully clean water as opposed to sewage) we contacted ServPro in order to assess the scope of the damage and assist with remediation. Any time water goes somewhere unexpected in your home it can be a dangerous/frustrating/costly endeavor. I am happy to report that ServPro knew exactly what to do and guided us through each step in the process. Dave, Steve and Jovanny showed up and surveyed the area to understand what happened. Thankfully they had done this kind of work before and that was very evident from the moment they arrived. We were particularly concerned about how far the water had gotten and what damage it caused. They were able to quickly measure and build a flood map which followed the path of the water. I really like how they had specialized equipment to indicate where the water had actually flowed. It allowed them to make informed decisions quickly. I really appreciate how they took special care in explaining everything they were doing. Their professionalism was some of the best that I've dealt with. I love how they examined our floor material thoroughly to understand what kind of drying apparatus to use as to not cause further damage. They established containment areas around the affected areas and while these machines were quite loud (they kind of have to be) they did the job. After 3 days of pretty intense remediation the areas of my home were finally dry. I hope that you never need to call upon this crew because it means that something bad has happened. Based on my experience I can only imagine you will be met with the same level of professionalism, care and expertise that they demonstrated at our home. It really was excellent working with them and I recommend them fully.

Dave and Logan and their team are absolutely amazing. We needed their services in an emergency (as most do!) and they were quick to respond, and super helpful. We needed their help on the renovation after the remediation as well and they worked within our budget and were so communicative and understanding and helpful. Dave is one of the nicest most honest guys you’ll work with, especially as far as contractors go!

We had water leaking behind our wall in our basement which then caused our carpet to be wet and black mold growing on our wall. We called Servpro of Mt. Ephraim/ Bellmawr. They came out to our house and assessed the damage and did what was needed. Can’t thank them enough for working with us and our insurance company. We highly recommend ServPro.

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.
