When your home suffers water damage, one of the most important things to do is to take steps to dry out your wood floors as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Improper drying can lead to a number of problems, including warping, cracking, and mold growth.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss the importance of proper wood floor drying and the process that All Clean Restoration uses to dry hardwood floors.

Why Proper Drying is Important

When wood floors are exposed to water, they can absorb the moisture and begin to swell. This swelling can cause the boards to warp and crack. Additionally, the moisture can create a breeding ground for mold growth. Mold can not only damage your floors, but it can also pose a health hazard to your family.

How All Clean Restoration Dries Wood Floors

All Clean Restoration is a licensed company with over 40 years of experience in water damage restoration. They use state-of-the-art moisture detection tools to identify the extent of the water damage. Once the extent of the damage is known, they can develop a plan to dry the floors quickly and efficiently.

The drying process typically involves the use of dehumidifiers and air movers. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, while air movers circulate the air to help it dry more quickly. In some cases, it may also be necessary to remove the floors and dry them from underneath.

Proper drying is essential to prevent warping, cracking, and mold growth after wood floors have been exposed to water damage. All Clean Restoration has the experience and expertise to dry your wood floors quickly and efficiently.
