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.

Our business unfortunately had a water leak that was not visible until it was too late. Jeremy was very helpful with the remediation process. He was extremely responsive and got to us quickly and helped walk me through everything I needed to do. He was very knowledgeable in his field and made the remediation a breeze. We used Servpro for the restoration process as well and Nick did a great job. He met in person. Explained what was being done, made any changes we requested and followed through. He gave updates throughout the process and sent photos after each phase so we could see exactly how it was coming along! His crew was also neat and polite. Thanks guys!

Last week, we had an incident that required three phone calls, a plumber, ServPro, and the insurance agent. Vincent got assigned as the Mitigation Project Manager and was exceptionally prompt in responding. By close of business the next day, he had an estimate for the remediation. With all the T’s crossed, the next step was having a crew come out to get the work done. At the appointed time, Frank and Mariana arrived, explained in detail what needed to be done, and started. The amount of praise that needs to be given to these two is immeasurable. First, they worked efficiently and tirelessly without a break, and second, we were kept informed at every step. A situation like this can be very stressful. The ServPro team made sure it wasn’t. To say we would highly recommend them is an understatement.

My experience with SERVPRO actually didn't start out so well, as I worked with a project manager who didn't communicate well or move the project along. Apparently the company realized what wasn't working, because I was assigned a new project manager (Nick A) who has been awesome. Nick has been so communicative, so on top of it, and so friendly and easy to work with. He fixed issues that had been left over as if it was his personal responsibility to get everything done properly. He went above and beyond to get us to the finish line, which makes me wish every person I ever have to work with could be like Nick. I appreciate that SERVPRO was able to recognize an issue and pivot to a better solution. Thank you!

Nick showed exceptional customer service while he insured that our repair was going to be completed the right way. Servpro got us out of a tight spot. People like Nick and his crew make things feel a little better because you know they care and are going to get you back to whole again.

I've used SERVPRO of Hyde Park/Central Austin several times. Due to the quality of their work, their professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction, they have earned my complete trust. In my most recent experience, Mike, Cam, and Kevin were outstanding in their mitigation and rebuild work for structural damage from an AC leak. They were very detailed in their survey and explanation of required work. It's obvious that they take pride in their workmanship and reputation. I appreciate that they are happy to explain what they find and the nature of their repairs. I have no hesitation in recommending SERVPRO of Hyde Park/Central Austin to anyone in need of water damage recovery and/or restoration.

We recently experienced unexpected water damage in our home, and what started as a stressful situation turned into a smooth, well‑managed rebuild thanks to Nick Aguilar from SERVPRO of Hyde Park/Central Austin. Nick was outstanding from the very beginning. His communication was clear and consistent. He kept us informed at every stage of the project, explained timelines and decisions in a way that made sense, and always made sure we felt comfortable with the plan moving forward. The coordination of crews and materials was seamless under Nick’s leadership, and he treated the project with the kind of care you hope for but rarely find — making sure details weren’t overlooked. If you’re dealing with water damage and need someone who will guide you through the rebuild with professionalism, integrity, and genuine dedication, I highly recommend working with Nick Aguilar and the SERVPRO Hyde Park/Central Austin team.

Thermal expansion sprung a leak while we were on our vacation. Came home to damaged drywall, hot water heater tank housing, baseboard, and flooring damage. Called SERVPRO of Lake Travis, and Kevin our initial point of contact immediately took action. He leveraged the SERVPRO local network and got Mike and crew out to remediate the damage within 24 hours. They demo'd and setup all the fans, took daily moisture readings, inspected and remediated mold over the next 6 days until everything was dried and safe for next phase. Great service and communication throughout. Also, they worked well with my insurance company. Highly recommended.

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.
