1. Emergency Response: Our team arrives quickly to assess the damage and begin restoration.
2. Water Extraction: We use specialized equipment to remove standing water and moisture from the flooring.
3. Moisture Mapping: Advanced moisture meters and infrared cameras identify areas of hidden moisture.
4. Drying: We employ a combination of dehumidifiers, air movers, and floor mats for thorough drying.
5. Dehumidification: Industrial-grade dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air to prevent reabsorption.
6. Sanitization: We clean and sanitize the floors to prevent mold growth and eliminate odors.
7. Refinishing: If necessary, we sand and refinish the floors to restore their original beauty.

We utilize state-of-the-art methods to ensure the best possible outcomes:

• Injectidry Systems: For targeted drying of specific floor areas
• Desiccant Dehumidification: For efficient moisture removal in large areas
• Negative Air Pressure Systems: To draw moisture out from subfloors
• Heat Drying: To accelerate the evaporation process when appropriate

Our hardwood floor water damage restoration services cover a range of situations:

• Flooding from natural disasters
• Burst pipes or plumbing failures
• Overflow from appliances or fixtures
• Firefighting efforts
• High humidity situations leading to moisture absorption

Be aware of these indicators that your hardwood floors may have water damage:

• Cupping (edges of boards higher than centers)
• Crowning (centers of boards higher than edges)
• Buckling or lifting of boards
• Discoloration or dark spots
• Musty odors
• Soft or spongy areas

If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for an assessment.

While it might be tempting to attempt DIY drying, professional restoration is crucial for several reasons:

• Proper equipment: We use industrial-grade drying equipment not available to consumers
• Expertise: Our technicians understand the nuances of wood behavior and moisture dynamics
• Thorough drying: We ensure all moisture is removed, including from subfloors and hidden areas
• Prevent secondary damage: Professional restoration reduces the risk of mold growth and structural issues
• Preserve floor integrity: Proper techniques minimize the need for replacement or extensive repairs
