Drying Hardwood From Water Damage

When a water damage happens, flooring usually takes a load of the damage. Carpet can usually be salvaged as well as tile on concrete. Wood flooring is something completely different. It depends on the wood. If its a laminate and what's underneath. 

With this job we were able to get to it in time before the wood started to buckle (when the wood expands and starts to life up), cupping (when the sides of the wood plank start to rise), crowning (when the center of the plank rises).

This machine uses heat and air movement to get the moisture trapped under the wood that normally a fan wouldn't be able to get. 

When you have a water damage do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Henderson and Boulder City. Even if you aren't sure if moisture is present. Call us for a moisture inspection.
