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.

Its refreshing to be able to trust a company to handle your home as their own. The owner really cares about his employees and the quality of work as much as he does his company which is rare to find these days. If you're looking for a NO BS company to handle your problems for you while staying fair this is the place to go trust me. People like this make serving in the military and going to war so worth it. You guys did a phenomenal job! Crews were professional and frankly had a great time talking with them. Its like having family come over and help take over the stress that was dumped in your lap. Thank you guys for everything you did i really appreciate it. Wish more businesses were like you

Brenda and her crew very throughly cleaned our home after a construction project left a layer of dust throughout our entire home. We are grateful for their attention to detail to ensure that all the trim, blinds and surfaces were clear of dust. This was crucial so that are family and young kids were not subjected to breathing in the tiny particles.

We experienced a flooded basement due to a recent record breaking rainstorm. Initially, our insurance company sent a clean-up company (not ServPro) to our home. After several days of no action. By that time, we have mold forming in the basemwnt and our possessions and furniture were being ruined. We contacted our insurance and stated that we wanted ServPro. Within 24 hours, representatives from ServPro, Mack and Tyler arrived at our house, made an initial assessment, formulated a plan, and immediately began working. Mack and the team of ladies in the inventory, clean, and pack team were amazing. They worked tirelessly to get our house squared away and in order. Mack also supervised the moving team, and took great care in ensuring our property was properly cared for, moved, and stored. He constantly communicated with us and kept us abreast of their progress. Tyler Initially set up our service and supervised the demo and mitigation team. Tyler and his crew were also fantastic. I could not have asked for better service if I were there supervising it myself. I hope that my family and I never again have to experience something like this. However, if we do, I will immediately demand ServPro, and will request Mack, Tyler and their team of professionals to put things back in order. Thank you guys, also to your teams. You made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Thank you ServPro for sending these Professionals to help us navigate this devastating incident. Respectfully, J.E. Holmes

Don Duygo came out to look at the job, promptly sent the written estimate. He explained what I could do to lower my cost, what other services were available and each expense. He then returned the morning of cleaning to do extra work and introduce the cleaning crew. Destiny and Kaylena did an A+ job of cleaning and sanitising my kitchen, dining room and mechanical closet. Kaylena discovered a broken pipe, which is the source of the water leak and attendant water costs that neither I nor Maintenance had found. All were hard-working, cheerful, very competent people. I am recommending SERVPRO and this team wholeheartedly.

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.
