Hard Wood Floors

A fish tank leaked in our customers home causing water damage to her hard wood floors and carpet. Our crew was able to dry everything and even save her hard wood floor.

PROBLEM:When water is allowed to saturate a wood floor the result is a condition we refer to as cupping. This happens because more moisture is absorbed by the unfinished underside of the boards causing the bottom of each board to expand more than the top. The result is a wavy appearance and each course of wood is raised at the seams.

SOLUTION:Contact SERVPRO at (586) 336-7373 to help. A combination of air movers, dehumidifiers and special floor drying systems may be utilized along with constant monitoring. 

Once the floor is dry it may need to be sanded again. It is crucial that the floor is dry prior to sanding. If a floor is sanded while still wet and cupped you may end up with the reverse effect referred to as crowning. 

If your wood floor gets wet, safe yourself the stress and contact our office. We are always here to help.
