Tackling Water Damage on Hardwood Flooring      

Water damage may cause hardwood flooring to cup, crown, crack, or even discolor. The severity of damage usually depends on the amount of water intrusion. If a burst pipe leaves a substantial amount of water on the floor for any amount of time, the loss is likely to be more significant. SERVPRO® acts fast to remove the bulk water, dry the area completely, and lower the overall humidity level of the affected area.
