SERVPRO Understands the Stress of Water Damaged Flooring

Real wooden floors add ambiance to any home and are a beloved staple of many houses. The only downside with authentic wooden flooring is that it can be costly to replace if damaged.

If you need water damage restoration in your Newington home, your wooden floorboards are among the most critical areas to tackle. Water can cause several different types of damage to wood flooring:

• Cupping, when the floorboards pull down and become concave, just like the inside of a cup.
• Crowning, when the floorboards curve upwards to form curved peaks.
• Buckling, when the boards pull up from the subfloor – this is the most severe type of damage and is the hardest to repair.

The faster you act, the better the chance of saving your floors. It is essential to dry wet floors at the correct speed, to prevent further warping or cracking during the drying process. SERVPRO trains our technicians to accurately calculate and execute drying for the best results with minimal damage.
