When {dealing with|coping with|working with} any water loss, {a fast|a quick|an easy} response time {is a|is just a|is really a} critical {factor in|element in|aspect in} mitigating {the loss|losing}, and it {is especially|is particularly} important {in the case|in the event|in case} of hardwood floors. The longer {they are|they’re} wet, {the greater|the higher|the more} chance that buckling will occur. When water is left on a wood floor, or if excessive moisture rises from below the sub floor, it becomes trapped {between the|involving the} wood floor and the sub floor. Cupping will occur if the {top of the|the surface of the|the top of} wood dries faster than {the bottom|the underside|underneath} of the wood or the moisture is absorbed by {the underside|underneath|the lower} and causes it to expand, raising the edges. {The biggest|The largest|The greatest} mistake {that can be|that may be|which can be} made {is to|would be to|is always to} sand {the floor|the ground|a floor} flat {while it|although it|whilst it} {is still|continues to be|remains} retaining moisture. This leaves the wood with thinner edges {than the|compared to|compared to the} center. Water Damage Services [location] use {a combination of|a mix of|a variety of} CFM and static pressure to literally force water out of damaged hardwood floors. High velocity air-flow is directed {into the|in to the|to the} flutes {between the|involving the} flooring and the sub floor. {This way|In this way|In this manner} {the floor|the ground|a floor} actually dries from {the bottom|the underside|underneath} up. By drying it fast from beneath, cupping and associated refinishing costs {could be|might be|could possibly be} reduced or eliminated.

Hardwood and tile floors require special attention from restorative drying companies. {Many people|Lots of people|Many individuals} {believe that|genuinely believe that|think that|feel that} replacement is {the only|the only real|the sole} option when their hardwood floor is affected in a water loss. However, {this is not|this isn’t|this is simply not} always the case. If our Wood Floor Restoration Services is called into action on a water loss {before the|prior to the|ahead of the} floors have begun to buckle (buckling occurs {when the|once the} nails {begin to|start to|commence to} pull through the floor) {in most cases|generally|typically} we {are able to|can|have the ability to} save the floor.

When {dealing with|coping with|working with} any water loss, {a fast|a quick|an easy} response time {is a|is just a|is really a} critical {factor in|element in|aspect in} mitigating {the loss|losing}, and it {is especially|is particularly} important {in the case|in the event|in case} of hardwood floors. The longer {they are|they’re} wet, {the greater|the higher|the more} {the chance|the opportunity|the possibility} that buckling will occur. So {the next time|next time|the very next time} you’re {dealing with|coping with|working with} {a wet|a moist|a damp} hardwood floor, don’t just count it as a loss, count on Water Damage Services [location] {to get|to obtain|to have} it dried {in a hurry|in a rush|on the go}!
