We all know the sinking feeling of realizing your wood floor has fallen victim to water damage. Whether it’s a leaky appliance, an overflowing bathtub, or even a spill gone wrong, the thought of warped boards, unsightly stains, and potential mold growth can be enough to send shivers down any homeowner’s spine. But fear not! Here at All Clean Restoration, we’ve been specializing in water damage restoration for over 40 years, and we’re here to assure you that your precious wood floors can be saved.

Drying Done Right: Expertise and Equipment Matter

Drying a wood floor properly isn’t just about mopping up the mess and calling it a day. It’s a delicate process that requires specific techniques and equipment to ensure thorough drying and prevent further damage. Our team, certified by the Restoration Industry Association (RIA), boasts the expertise and tools to handle any wood floor drying project, no matter how complex.

Tailored Solutions for Every Situation

After a thorough assessment of your unique situation, we’ll choose the right approach. This might involve specialized fans, dehumidifiers, or even advanced drying systems to remove excess moisture from the wood and surrounding areas. We’ll also monitor moisture levels closely to ensure everything is completely dry before considering sanding, refinishing, or even replacing damaged boards (if necessary). Remember, we walk you through every step of the process, keeping you informed and involved.

Don’t Overlook Rug-Covered Areas!

If your wet carpet or rug sat on top of a hardwood floor, tackling the floor itself is crucial. We’ll not only remove the rug but also thoroughly dry the underlying wood to prevent hidden moisture issues.

Moisture Monitoring: The Key to Peace of Mind

We don’t just guess when it comes to drying your wood floor. Our team uses state-of-the-art moisture detection tools like digital meters and infrared cameras to identify any hidden pockets of moisture that might escape the naked eye. This ensures your floor is completely dry and free from the threat of mold before you step foot on it again.

Warning Signs: When to Call the Pros

Wood is like a sponge, absorbing or releasing moisture depending on the surrounding humidity. While acceptable moisture levels for wood flooring range from 6% to 8%, significant water intrusion can lead to warping, cracking, and even mold growth if left unchecked. Here are three key signs to watch out for:

  • Cupped or warped boards: Uneven expansion due to moisture absorption.
  • Dark stains or discoloration: A clear indicator of moisture-related issues.
  • Musty or moldy odor: A telltale sign of hidden water damage.

If you notice any of these, don’t hesitate! Prompt action is key to preventing further damage and preserving your beautiful hardwood floors.

Our Proven Process for Wood Floor Restoration:

  1. High-pressure vacuum extraction: Removes excess surface water efficiently.
  2. Moisture sensor detection: Identifies wet areas for targeted drying efforts.
  3. Water extraction mats and truck-mount machine: Powerful extraction to remove trapped moisture beneath the floor.
  4. Cleaning and refinishing (optional): Restores the floor’s original beauty.
