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 came home to an upstairs toilet overflowing for 4 hours running like a water falls to the first floor and the finished basement. For an older couple it was an overflowing situation beyond our abilities to handle. We called Servpro and Jason was out within an hour and a crew was following shortly to handle the clean up and was professional and great helping us. Jasen had his cruise in as soon as possible doing demolition and removing the damage and preparing our house for rehab rehabilitation. His staff was hard-working, polite, and friendly and great to work with. We are very pleased with the results. We would recommend them to anybody that had any kind of damage damage that needed help right away. We thank them very much for their assistance.

We couldn’t be happier with Servepro. Matt and Mark were amazing. They were courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. They paid attention to detail and worked diligently to get the job done. Honestly, they were a pleasure to have in our home. Trust worthy and personable are qualities that you want from people working in your home daily. Matt and Mark worked so well together which also was an added benefit. We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Our mitigation experience started with Travis who did a very thorough job evaluating our flooding situation which involved 3 floors. He answered all our questions patiently and was a pleasure to work with. He told us exactly what would take place with the rest of his team. We were also happy with our ServPro team members who did the clean up work. They were amazing because their work was neat, thorough and they paid attention to detail. Amanda was such a responsible team leader. She knew exactly what she was supposed to do and did it with accuracy and efficiency with the help of her teammates- Jordan and John. The attitudes, friendliness, and work ethic of all three team members made it easier for us to have to endure the stress of this experience. Even though John was new at the job, his work ethic and respectful behavior were admirable. Jasen, the project manager, was always available in person or by phone to offer advice and support for any of his team’s or our concerns. Finally, Jacob and Tyler listened to our concerns about our ceiling and wall that were open to the freezing garage and covered the open areas in our laundry room (with plastic) which were exposed to our garage so we wouldn’t freeze before the rebuilding could begin. We would gladly recommend this team and ServPro to anyone who needs the services of a restoration company.

Mason and Posy were so efficient. They kept the hall to the basement clean with paper runners. They were friendly but serious with the project and worked effectively. I highly recommend Servpro.

Everyone we met was fantastic and the work they did was amazing! We weren’t planning on having to do work on our basement, but they made the process easy and our basement is even better than before they started. Dan was the head of our renovation, we are very thankful for him. He was incredibly kind, meticulous and detail oriented. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Our church suffered a huge fire in our auditorium and the rest of the church was covered in smoke and soot. Servpro came out that night and started to access the damage. They did a complete clean out and mitigation of our entire 27,000 square foot building within 20 days. The communication and attention to detail was outstanding. I always knew what was going on and updated every day. I 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.
