Minimizing Water Damage To Your Wood Floors

3/27/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is the industry leader in damage restoration, but sometimes you have to do things yourself. If for some reason, you cannot contact your local SERVPRO franchise, here are a few things to do if your wooden floors suffer water damage:

1. Remove standing water. This should seem obvious, but many would decide not to touch anything. This will save you time and money in the long run.

2. Dry your floor. Again, this may seem obvious, but steps 1 and 2 are vital to having a chance at recovering your wooden floors. The longer they're wet, the worse it gets.

3. Get some airflow going through the area. If possible, use a fan to speed up the drying process.

If you follow these three simple steps, your wood floors have a much better chance of being restored to their former glory.
