Hardwood Floors Are Not Necessarily a Loss After Flood Damage in Dallas Homes

One look at the flood damage in a home and the feeling of loss and the anxiety at needing to arrange for cleanup hits local homeowners in Dallas hard. The key to lessening loss is getting the water removed, and the property dried as fast as possible, particularly in the case of hardwood flooring.

Dallas homes with flood damage get immediate assistance from SERVPRO technicians. Being local, the technicians arrive rapidly after the initial call with a green service van loaded with all the equipment they need. If the power is out, no problem, they have generators, so there are no delays on cleanup.

Why SERVPRO?
Since bad weather does not take weekends or holidays off, neither do the certified technicians. They are available 24/7 to answer the needs of local property owners for any size storm damage, fire, or mold cleanup needed. The goal of the technicians is to lessen loss through their advanced restoration methods, especially for investments such as hardwood flooring.

Professional Equipment Makes the Difference
When dealing with hardwood floorings saturated by water, the technicians extract as much as possible using squeegee attachments on their portable pumps and doing several passes. When the drying phase of mitigation happens, SERVPRO techs use specialized drying equipment such as drying mats to force warm, dry air into the flooring to ensure the boards dry evenly.

Because the nature of wood is to swell when wet, the boards tend to cup and warp. During the drying process, the mats get carefully rotated to assist the boards in laying flat while drying. The technicians carefully monitor the moisture levels in the floorboards to be sure they are completely dry. In some cases, the boards may require slight sanding, staining, and the application of a sealant to restore them fully.
