Protecting Hardwood In Watertown Homes From Flood Damage

Hardwood floors are a unique addition to many Watertown properties, which can increase their overall value and boost aesthetic appeal. Unfortunately, in situations like water loss incidents and flooding, without an immediate response by competent and qualified professionals, hardwood can end up being a costly material to remove and ultimately replace once oversaturation, warping, and distortion occurs. We have advanced tools and equipment that can help to quickly reduce the presence of moisture and saturation in these materials, and safely regulate a healthy moisture content level moving forward.

Even for the dense material that hardwood flooring is, saturation is an effect of flood damage in Watertown homes that can happen quickly. Standing water can penetrate the seams between the planks, offering the most direct approach to surround planks with water and begin absorbing into this material. Much like water loss incidents, the right response to seal over a vulnerability in your home’s construction can reduce the overall threat of floodwater that you inevitability face.

Our SERVPRO professionals can begin with addressing the penetration of floodwater when we first arrive at your address shortly after your initial call.  Our general contractors can handle multiple facets of recovery, including the demolition and reinstallation of this hardwood flooring should you wait too long to reach out to professional restoration services like ours. These building trades specialists can offer immediate temporary construction solutions like boarding and tarping to prevent further floodwater penetration.

Extraction must happen quickly to prevent further exposure of the individual planks to over absorption and saturation. We can utilize specialized tools like our injectidry system and drying mats to slowly draw moisture from these damaged areas in a controlled manner. We can continually monitor the moisture content to ensure that we do not overly dry the planks, which can be as damaging as saturation.

Caring for a hardwood floor after a flood can be challenging without the specialized equipment and effective approaches used by our SERVPRO of Jefferson County team. We can help to prevent unnecessary tear out and reinstallation and can make flood loss effects “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call at (315) 777-8377.
