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.

Over the years, I have worked with several water restoration companies for various reasons, including a failed shower pan. Four days ago, my shower pan failed again, causing water to drain into my master bedroom and garage. Because I did not want to use any of the previous companies again, I researched my options carefully and chose Serv Pro Westfield. I was not disappointed. Derrick and his crew arrived at our home within two hours of my call. They were extremely professional, answered all of my questions, and treated my property with great care. As they moved items to begin the water mitigation process, they were thoughtful about keeping my furniture accessible. After leaving the equipment in place, Derrick scheduled visits each day to check both the equipment and the drying progress until everything was picked up. I have never had another restoration company provide that level of follow-up. Derrick was consistently respectful of our time and always arrived promptly for equipment checks. He was also very helpful in communicating with our insurance company and keeping them updated on the water mitigation process. I would highly recommend Serv Pro Westfield to anyone in need of restoration services.

Fast, efficient, and responsive. They worked with me and my insurance and got my repairs done ASAP, willing to work with me and my schedule and with my insurance company to give them everything they needed. High value, high quality work. When I had a few snags with timing or insurance claims, they worked with me to quickly resolve the issues and get me the paperwork I needed to fix them. I would happily recommend them to anyone else, and I will probably use them again.

We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Derrick Charles at ServPro during the early phase of our restoration process following a pipe burst. From day one, Derrick demonstrated outstanding customer service, empathy, and professionalism. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, kept us informed every step of the way, and most importantly, gave us realistic and honest feedback—no sugarcoating, just the facts, delivered with compassion and clarity. In such a stressful time, Derrick’s calm demeanor and clear communication gave us confidence and peace of mind. It’s rare to encounter someone who combines technical knowledge with genuine care for their clients, and Derrick does it effortlessly. We feel fortunate to have him on our side and are looking forward to continuing to work with him and the ServPro team throughout the rest of the restoration journey. Sincerely, Marion & Samuel Thornton

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.
