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.

Thank you, Jose, Sebastian, and Franco. Jose was exceptionally kind and courteous to my elderly mother, making her feel at ease about what’s ahead. He patiently answered all her questions and walked us through every step of the process. Sebastian and Franco worked diligently, demonstrating the same kindness and courtesy. We shared some laughs along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend this ServPro team!

I cannot say enough good things about Robert, Steven, and Tyler at ServPro. During one of the most difficult periods of my life, they went far beyond what I ever expected. This year, my family experienced two heartbreaking tragedies—the loss of a loved one to suicide in February and my daughter’s serious illness last month. Throughout it all, Robert, Steven, and Tyler treated me with incredible kindness, patience, and compassion. They understood that I was overwhelmed and made a stressful home restoration process so much easier. Their workmanship was outstanding, and their professionalism was second to none. What impressed me even more was that after the job was complete, they made a special trip back to fix my door and refused to charge me anything. That level of customer service and genuine care is rare today. If you’re looking for a company that not only does exceptional work but also truly cares about its customers, I wholeheartedly recommend ServPro. Thank you, Robert, Steven, and Tyler, for your outstanding service and for your kindness during such a difficult time. I will never forget it.

Nicho Bleh was absolutely outstanding to work with from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Nico kept me informed every step of the way, answered every question I had clearly and patiently, and made what could have been a very stressful situation feel much more manageable. His communication was excellent, his professionalism was top-notch, and it was clear he genuinely cared about making sure everything was handled properly. Nico made the entire process smooth, efficient, and far easier than I expected. I truly appreciated his reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to help at every stage For context, mitigation work was done for water damage in two units.

The level of expertise this team brings to table is honestly outstanding. They are a thorough and well-oiled machine, who truly excel with the nuanced and more difficult aspects of the work. They are all genuinely assets to their company and have been even more so for me. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

I recently used SERVPRO for water damage in my home caused by ice damming, and I had an excellent experience with their team from start to finish. Their water mitigation team was fantastic. They worked quickly and efficiently to locate the source and extent of the water damage and immediately began mitigation to prevent any further issues, including potential mold growth. The crew worked under the direction of Nico, who was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. The reconstruction team then stepped in and did a great job putting everything back together quickly and efficiently. This included sheetrock, painting, molding/trim work, and even installing a new shower. Clark was excellent in coordinating with my insurance adjuster and making sure everything moved along smoothly and in an organized manner. The rebuild crew, led by Pablo, did exceptional work. The finished product looks great—you truly cannot tell where the damage occurred. Overall, the entire process was handled professionally and efficiently. John, the owner, clearly runs a very organized and professional operation with a great team behind him. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of water mitigation or reconstruction services. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of work made a difficult situation much easier to deal with.

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.
