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.

We had a pipe burst in the middle of a winter night. It caused a small electrical fire and it was such a stressful situation. Stefanie and her team were at our house first thing in the morning, assessing the damage and starting the cleanup process. They made sure to leave no stone unturned and put our house back together better than it was before. I was so greatful to have the support of their team the whole way. They helped alleviate so much stress around such an unexpected situation.

Hats off to Chuck, Ray and Zack at Servprov! Our basement was flooded in June of 2025, and the crew arrived at our home in record time! They were quick to assess the damage and immediately began mitigating the situation. They were courteous, accommodating and professional every step of the way. In addition, the office staff - Laurie, Christina, Holly and Stephanie were amazing! We had many questions along the way, and they went above and beyond to assist us. They were extremely pleasant, helpful and responsive in every interaction. Given the upsetting situation we were in, we could not have asked for a better team of professionals!

I used Servpro recently in a house flood and found them to be quickly responsive, clear in their proposed work, and very professional in carrying out their assignment. Throughout their several days on sight their communication was excellent. Their coordination with my insurance agent was flawless. Communication with their office coordinator was always helpful and responsive. I highly recommend them.

I can’t say enough good things about SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess Counties. From the very first night our water damage happened, Zack called me right away and patiently walked me through what to expect and how the process would go. Chuck came out shortly after to stabilize everything until the full remediation could begin, and he was incredibly kind and professional. When the techs came to do the demo work, they were so respectful, sweet, and thorough. I’m so sorry I don’t remember all their names, but they truly did an excellent job. Every single person I spoke to, even the ladies who called to schedule, were kind, professional, and compassionate during such a stressful time. Zack especially went above and beyond, guiding us through the entire process and answering every question along the way. I’m so grateful for the care and professionalism of this entire team. I highly recommend SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess Counties to anyone in need of remediation services you’ll be in great hands.

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.
