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.

SERVPRO came into our lives during one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences our family has gone through. A water loss and mold situation is not just damage to a house — it completely disrupts your sense of normalcy, your routines, and honestly your feeling of security in your own home. Having rooms torn apart, dealing with uncertainty, and trying to navigate the emotional side of it all has been incredibly difficult. Through all of it, the SERVPRO team has shown not only professionalism and skill, but something even more important: compassion, empathy, and kindness. I specifically want to recognize several members of this team because each of them made a real difference for our family. Kainan Jennings has been involved in all aspects of this project and has truly been exceptional. Demo, mitigation, communication — he has done it all, and done it with professionalism, empathy, and heart. Kainan consistently showed up with a positive attitude despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the job. He treated us like people first and clients second. In a process that can feel cold and clinical, he brought humanity into it, and we will not forget that. Kilye Graves deserves special recognition not only for demolition and water mitigation work, but for communication. When you are living through home damage, communication becomes incredibly important because there are so many unknowns. Kyle consistently helped bridge that gap. Questions were answered, updates were given, and there was a genuine sense that he cared about what we were experiencing — not just the project itself. That empathy and willingness to communicate helped lower stress levels for our entire family. Mackenzie King worked on the demolition portion of our project, and I cannot say enough good things. Demo work is hard, messy, physically demanding work, yet Mackenzie approached everything with professionalism and care. When your home is being taken apart around you, you feel vulnerable, and Mackenzie always treated both us and our home with respect. There was never a feeling that this was “just another job.” That kindness mattered more than she probably realizes. Carlos Reys-Mendoza worked on both demolition and water mitigation, and his work ethic and calm presence stood out immediately. Water damage mitigation is one of those things homeowners hope they never have to learn about, and Carlos helped make a frightening process feel manageable. He worked hard, was thorough, and helped restore confidence that our home was being taken care of correctly. During a very emotional time, that reassurance means everything. SERVPRO should be incredibly proud of this team. Technical skill is important, but compassion cannot be taught, and this team has both. They helped us through one of the hardest home experiences we have ever had, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you all for the care you showed our family.

Gavin helped me and was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment he arrived, he brought such a friendly, positive energy that instantly made a stressful situation feel manageable. He worked incredibly hard the entire time, never cutting corners, and made sure I understood what was happening at every step. His kindness and dedication really stood out. I’m truly grateful for everything he did.

Kainan was incredible to work with during a really stressful time. When my house had water damage, he walked me through every step of the process, and made everything easy to understand. He was friendly, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. I’m genuinely grateful for his help and highly recommend him.

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.
