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 a great experience with SERVPRO, especially Rick. He was attentive, patient, prompt, and very thorough from the start. He followed up with me every day and kept me updated throughout the process, which really helped during a stressful situation. I was away on a business trip while the work was being done, and I trusted Rick completely. He put a lockbox on my door so he could get in and out, and he even brought a package inside for me because he knew I was away. He truly went above and beyond. Dealing with a water emergency is never easy, but Rick made the first step of it much more bearable. He worked hard, was professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cared. Top notch service all around. I would absolutely recommend SERVPRO and Rick to anyone dealing with a water emergency.

Thank you to Mitch for helping us! He is very skilled and kind. Dana also provided us with an estimate in a timely manner for remodeling a bathroom and gave us extremely useful advice, which we are very appreciative of. We strongly suggest using this company.

Servpro was exceptional in the services they provided us! They dispatched on New Year’s Eve, and our tech Mitch was absolutely amazing. He was fast thorough, explained everything and why it was being done, and helped us get a disaster under control very quickly. He even followed up over the weekend and came back out to assist with the situation. Highly recommend their services and if you’re able to, I’d ask for Mitch!!! Thanks guys!

Servpro Newtown cleaned our ducts yesterday. Rick and Melanie came into our home with professionalism and knowledge. They listened to our ”soot” situation due to a faulty HVAC, explained their process clearly, was sensitive to our schedules within the home throughout the day, updated us on their progress, and clearly, worked well together. We were very impressed with their teamwork. Obviously, there was much dust, dirt, and soot that was exposed during the procedures BUT everything was clean upon their departure. I highly recommend Rick and Melanie from Servpro Newtown!

They came out on time and was very professional and respectful. The gentleman who came out to remediate did a great job sealing everything up, cleaning, and explaining the entire process. Would definitely use them again.

My wife, my son and I had just returned home from a 16 hour flight and threw in a load of laundry when my sewer lines backed up and flooded my first floor and down into my basement. I called ServPro and they sent Mitch out immediately the next morning. Super presentable, professional and punctual. Turned what seemed like an end of the world situation into something very manageable and took care of literally everything. Always told us what he was going to be doing ahead of time, making sure to get approval for removing anything or setting up equipment. Completely handled the insurance side of things and had everything done in just a few days. I could write a few pages on how well Mitch handles everything and put my family at ease over the holidays. Thank you ServPro, and Mitch especially. Will always recommend both him and the company for any work in the future.

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.
