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.

The Servpro team has been great to work with! They came quickly that night to rescue us from our water emergency. Jason and crew were the first ones to start the drying process even though they had already had a long Saturday. Ty checked up on us everyday for the week to make sure everything was going well. Delvin made sure the drying was complete. They were all polite, professional and easy to work with. Thanks for an excellent job, guys! Well done!

Had to call ServPro last weekend. The crew from Paris came out quickly and got started right away. They were professional and a pleasure to work with. While I would have preferred not to have water damage,we knew we were in good hands. Delvin and his crew did a great job.

We had a water leak at our lake house that we weren't aware of for weeks. Our adjuster recommended ServPro and allowed me to retain them quickly without an estimate due to their trust in ServPro. Delvin and his crew were responsive and communicative throughout the process. Very helpful and explained everything along the way. I would highly recommend them.

Delvin, the Production Manager, was absolutely the best person to help guide us through this entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and respectful every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made a very stressful situation much easier to navigate. His communication was excellent, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure things were handled properly. Delvin went above and beyond to ensure we felt informed and supported throughout the process, and his dedication and customer service truly stood out. As well, every person I spoke with throughout the process was respectful, courteous, and professional, which made the overall experience much more positive during a difficult time.

I contacted Servpro in Durant/Paris about cleaning the ductwork in our 1971 home. We recently moved into and the air ducts have never been cleaned. So you can imagine how bad they were!! My husband has severe respiratory problems. I explained that to Megan and Dakota understood that it needed to be done as soon as possible. I called on Thursday afternoon, Monday morning Jamal and Babs were here ready to work! And work they did!! Arrived at 10:15 and stayed till every Air ducts had been cleaned out, every vent was scrubbed and cleaned. Then they vacuumed up and wiped down the areas. It took 2 1/2 almost 3 hours! Very detailed work! We immediately could tell a difference once we turn the unit back on!! Slept better that night and we have in a while. Don’t hesitate to call…..wonderful wonderful folks!!!! Thank you!!

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.
