When hardwood floors are flooded by water
damage from a broken pipe under a sink, a toilet that has over flown and been
unattended, or even a water supply line to a kitchen refrigerator freezer
cleaning up surface water does not eliminate potential flooding damage even
though there are no visible signs at this time. Water penetrates into the
absorbing qualities of the wood floor and subfloor materials similarly as
sponge holds water.
This moisture if not properly treated will
soon start to show signs of what's called cupping. Many hardwood floors are put
together with a tongue and groove assembly. These planks containing moisture
will begin to separate from each other and the subfloor. Aggressive actions are
required to reduce the moisture content in flooring materials before these
destructive signs begin to show.
One of the most effective and widely used
lines of equipment in the industry for hardwood floor restoration and subfloor water damage repair is the
Inject dry System. This system uses a negative air exchange to pull out
moisture from hard to reach dense materials and replace with dry air. A trained
professional can effectively set up this system, monitor and evaluate its
progress and achieve maximum results insuring hardwood floors are restored to a
pre-flooded condition.
Replacement of hardwood floors and subfloors
due to flooding can reach tens of thousands of dollars. But with proper water damage
repair wood floors can be saved
reducing out of pocket expenses down to a tenth of the amount to replace. Time
is crucial. So don't be fooled by first appearances. Contact a trained water
damage specialist immediately who can take moisture readings of flooded
affected areas and detect underlying water damage not seen by the naked eye.
Most restoration companies provide free estimates and 24/7 immediate service.
Your hardwood floors and pocketbook will thank you.
