Sitting water ruins floors

6/4/2021 (Permalink)

here it is easily noticeable that water soaked up the legs of the furniture and under the flooring materials causing the floor to lift.

Whether a person is away from home or just sleeping when their home experiences a water leak, the water being on the floor for any length of time will really warp flooring, and start soaking up the legs or furniture.

This is always why SERVPRO is fast to respond, quick to act! The very first step when working a water loss job in a home is to assess and lift all furnishing off the floor. This helps them dry and keeps them from more damage. Additionally, our contents department will move, pack and mark all items as well as often storing them in our warehouse while the home is being repaired.

Our construction team is built of many skills as you can see here that flooring will be needed. The manufactured wood flooring here is lifting, has a lot of water under it and will not be savable.

SERVPRO will remove all flooring, dry out this home, replace flooring, baseboards, and also be sure everything is dry, mild free, and move the customers belongings right back in for them.
