Prompt Action Can Save the Wood Flooring in Your Great Neck Home After Water Damage

Whenever you have beautiful hardwood flooring in your home, any water loss event calls for immediate response to help lessen the damage. Whether the water originates from a broken pipe under your kitchen sink or a faulty appliance, our team at SERVPRO knows how to address the problem promptly. The faster that you call us to assess the damage and get started on the cleanup, the easier it is for us to make it “Like it never even happened.”

Water damage in Great Neck is something that we are well-versed in at SERVPRO. With a quick response and professional methods for cleaning and restoring your interior, we can salvage your wood flooring. We put a plan of action in place that allows us to control things like the temperature, humidity, and airflow throughout your home to keep the flooring from warping while inhibiting mold and mildew growth.

Extraction

Upon arrival at your home, our skilled technicians assess the water damage and any of the remaining surface water. We extract water from the surface of your hardwood floors, using portable extractors with wand attachments that allow us to reach tighter spaces. Any moisture that remains on the surface after this step evaporates with the help of dry, warm air flowing throughout the space.

Addressing Water Under the Surface

If there is free water that has not yet bonded with the molecules of your wood flooring, we then take care of removing it. While free water is a bit more challenging to remove, our SERVPRO technicians utilize air movers that help create beneficial airflow that glides over the wet floors. Our team uses a unique formula to decide the right temperature and humidity ratio so that we have the ultimate combination of airflow and dehumidification. 

For bound water that has been absorbed into your hardwood flooring and fully bonded with the molecules of the wood, we apply heat with the help of portable heaters. Drying mats strategically placed on the floor helps to create strong suction that pulls up water that is then released either as water or vapor. Once fully dry, our SERVPRO team thoroughly cleans and disinfects the space to inhibit mold growth and the onset of foul odors.
