Hardwood Flooring Damaged by Water Loss

Some of the most frantic calls we receive are when customer’s hardwood floors get wet during a water damage.  Even if the water is cleaned up from the surface immediately, the water may have already penetrated the flooring.  Water travels under the floor boards which causes them to swell and buckle.  It usually takes around 48 hours for signs of visible damage and in most cases this damage is irreversible which means the floor will require replacement. When it comes to wet hardwood flooring, time is of the essence.  The sooner the drying process begins the better the end result.  With 24 hour emergency services, we can be on-site within 4 hours to begin the drying process.
