Hardwood Flooring Damage

Wood, like people, can only drink in so much water at one time.  Excessive storm water infiltration upon hardwood flooring can cause boards to warp, rise, stain, and become weak and brittle. Often homeowners attempt to dry out their flooring and once dry, place heavy furniture, bricks, books, etc., on top in hopes that it will flatten out the warped boards.  This, unfortunately, is rarely successful. Immediate remediation by professionals is what is needed.

So don't hesitate, or try to remedy the situation yourself when storm water causes your hardwood floors to become wet. Call your SERVPRO professional for immediate assistance before permanent damage occurs.
