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 was recommended to us and we are so thankful. We had water damage throughout 2 floors of our home due to a late night burst water line in our upstairs bathroom. They were an absolute blessing to work with. Jimmy came over the very next morning to set up dehumidifiers and fans. Paul arrived on Monday and walked us through every step of the remediation. No question went unanswered and we felt so relieved by his expertise. He dealt with our insurance company, took all their phone calls and was here the day the insurance rep came to do his walk-through. In doing this, we believe the insurance rep had a better understanding of how much repair work truly needed to be done. Jimmy & Paul stressed that after the remediation was completed, we could use whatever contractors we chose for repair work But we were already certain we would continue with SERVPRO for that work as well. Jimmy handled all the repair work details and was such a pro. He respected our wishes, came up with some ideas of his own and along with Carlos, Tino, Lisa (in the office) and the rest of the crew, restored our home to tip top shape. We couldn't be happier. If you every have the grief of water damage in your home, we highly recommend SERVPRO of Bellmore/Wantagh and their remediation/reconstruction team. They are truly the best!

Working with ServPro was an absolute dream. My house had some water damage in our basement due to an issue with our sewer trap. We have State Farm, who works with ServPro, and I'm so happy they do! After one call to State Farm, I contacted ServPro to get the work going to assess and remediate the water damage. Paul, a rep from their team, is absolutely incredible. He came over so fast, and explained what they were going to do in full detail. Answered all of our questions, and was always so quick to respond to any text messages no matter how late! On top of all of that, he even went out of his way to make sure he was at our home when the State Farm rep came by to assess the damages for their report. He was able to walk the rep through exactly what happened in such great detail, which resulted in us getting a lot of coverage from State Farm to repair the damages. He guided us with such confidence and knowledge. We felt like we were his family! After State Farm provided the check to do the reconstruction of the basement, we knew right away we had to work with ServPro for the reconstruction job. Lisa, Jimmy, Tino, Alex, Carlos, and the entire crew were beyond efficient, courteous, and so fast to get our basement not only back to what it used to be, but even BETTER. Jimmy was also incredible. He was flexible and open to our ideas of how we wanted the basement restored, and went above and beyond what was supposed to be done. It's honestly one of our favorite new rooms in the house because it got a huge face lift, and our home equity has benefitted greatly for it. I will only be working with ServPro from now on for any of my water remediation and repair needs. I've recommended them to all of my friends and family, and honestly cannot speak more highly about them. Fantastic service all around!

Paul Hofmann and his crew Juan and Tino went above and beyond in their mold remediation due to a leaky roof. They needed to replace drywall and did a phenomenal job. They painted and cleaned up. Thank you for a job well done.

The SERVPRO team far exceeded expectations for restoring my flooded basement. The entire team was courteous and professional. Project Manager Gian Carlo did an inspection and provided a concise estimate within 24 hours. He was always available to answer questions. The Work team of Jeremy, Neil, Vincente, and, Jorge was on time and performed high quality work. Team lead Jeremy constantly updated me during the job. All work was done to my satisfaction. I highly recommend SERVPRO for water damage restoration.

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.
