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.

I had pesticide sprayed in my home and didn’t realise that I had a chemical sensitivity. All I can say is that this was a most positive experience. Not only did Bogdan and his team abate the chemicals thoroughly and professionally, but he was so kind and patient with me. He was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. Every step in the process was thoroughly explained to me. And he really went the extra mile, coming back multiple times and leaving additional specialist air cleaning machinery with me. They did extra work beyond the original scope and did not charge me more than the original estimate. I am so grateful and so impressed. Amazing quality of work, thorough knowledge, the best customer service I have experienced. I couldn’t recommend Servpro of Southwest Mississauga, or Bogdan, any higher.

Bogdan did a fantastic job drying out my hardwood floors after a leak. His crew came immediately after I called and he was extremely patient, leaving the equipment in place for many days to be sure things were thoroughly dry. I hope I never have an emergency like this again but if I do, I know who I will call. Thank you, Bogdan!

I used Servpro to restore a carpeted area after a toilet back-up and was glad I chose them. Bogdan is a true professional--knowledgeable and conscientious--as well as being an excellent communicator. He made the process easy and stress-free from start to finish and I would definitely recommend him and this Servpro location should you have need of their services.

A couple weeks ago, I needed to have work done urgently in my cold room. After I left a message, Bogdan called back quickly and promptly showed up for an assessment visit. He took the time to explain everything and clearly laid out what to expect. He then followed up with a detailed quote, and once I gave the ok, he was able to squeeze in the start of work almost immediately. He kept in daily contact as the work progressed, and then at the completion of the project he made sure to ensure I was satisfied. Thank you Bogdan, Raouf and your other team member (sorry I'm forgetting the name).

I live in Denver, CO but I recently became responsible for caring for a property in Scarborough that belongs to a relative that is too old and far away away to manage it. After a leak in the roof caused the ceiling to collapse and saturate all of the walls in the bathroom just two weeks before I was starting a new job, I needed a contractor to take care of the property. Bogdan was communicative, helpful, kind, and offered flexible options with clearly communicated price points that left me feeling like I was still in control of the project from almost 2500 km away. He sent detailed pictures and thorough updates frequently and consistently throughout the project. He even orchestrated other trusted subcontractors for other projects I needed done as well. I trust him, him work is high quality, and I can't recommend him enough.

Highly Professional and Trustworthy Service – Highly Recommended! I recently used Servpro of Southwest Mississauga for a mold remediation project, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. A special shout-out to Bogdan, who was exceptional throughout the entire process. From the initial assessment to the completion of the work, Bogdan demonstrated a deep knowledge of his craft. He was clearly an expert in the scope of work required and provided very professional, practical advice that gave me full confidence in the solution. What I appreciated most was the fair and transparent pricing. The quote was very reasonable, and there were no hidden surprises. The team was professional, punctual, and highly efficient. If you are looking for a reliable team for restoration or mold issues, I highly recommend Servpro of Southwest Mississauga, especially Bogdan. It is rare to find such a combination of expertise and honest service.

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.
