Water Damage

Water damage at this home left the hardwood flooring with a condition known as cupping. Standing water like that in the pictured house seeps into the cracks between the wood planks. The soaked grooves expand and lift upwards thus creating the cupping effect. The homeowner, in this case, needs a professional water damage restoration company with experience drying and repairing wood flooring. Specialized equipment and procedures are necessary to restore the wood flooring to its original condition. SERVPRO of has the experience and equipment that would provide a solution to the homeowner's problem. We would use a slow controlled moisture reduction process which would cause the planks t to flatten out to the condition they were in before the water damage.
