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.

Coming home from vacation is always hard, but its even harder when you come home to your room being flooded from a leak in the hot water heater. Thankfully my insurance company sent out Servpro. From the first time they came in Leroy and his right hand man Mr. Ty looked at the situation and started the process immediately. Came in did their checks to see what they needed to pull out. Next day they were there with some other workers Charles, and Matt to start demolition on my home it was a all day event because of how much they had to pull just to make sure everything wet was out of my home to make sure mold never stood a chance! From there it was a couple of days with dehumidifiers going and mutplie checks to make sure all the areas that were affected were on the right schedule to dry, they also brought over fans to help out with drying as well. Unfortunately the studs were still wet. So I had Devin show up to close off more of the exposed areas and really seal in a dehumidifier to make sure the studs would dry. Thankfully over the course of a couple of days they were! It did take a awhile for them to do what they needed to but they worked with my schedule, I also want to thank Samantha and Kayla who helped on the billing side with helping me fight with my insurance company to make sure I was taken care of and didn't have to come out of pocket for this. Now I have Bryon doing my estimates to get new flooring, baseboards, and a wall back up. From start to finish this is the company you can trust whether its fighting with your insurance for approval/extended dry time or even fixing something small they are there for you! Thank you Servpro for easing the burden of all of this! Pictures below to show before and during and ill try to update once its finished!

We had a cracked upstairs toilet flood about a 3rd of our house. Leroy and his crew (Ty, Devin, and Matt) showed up before the appointment was even supposed to start and made quick work of assessing everything and got straight to drying out our home. The whole team was super friendly and did a great job of explaining what they were checking and how they planned to solve each of our issues, as well as detailing out how they will work with our insurance provider. Even though our house still needs quite a bit of work, we feel so much more at peace after having the ServPro team come by and start solving our problems!!

So, what do you do when you experience a small disaster at home? Don’t panic, just call LeRoy and Ramon, your local professionals at Servpro. And, when I call them “professionals” it’s far more than a compliment. It’s an acknowledgement that together these two will do the whole job, eliminating all the anxiety and stress. They know exactly what to do, how to do it, and help you to navigate what would otherwise be difficult waters dealing with your insurance, adjusters, and various trades. They truly have this down to a science, and their process is so efficient and refined that all you need do is sit back, grab a coffee, and relax. There are few things more comforting than having LeRoy and Ramon there assuring you, “ No worries… we’re taking care of it”.

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.
