Focusing on Rapid Water Removal and Cleaning Solutions

Water removal is a crucial and intricate process that cannot be overlooked when restoring a damaged home. It is imperative to ensure the exposed materials are protected from further damage. Our water restoration procedures begin as soon as we receive your first notice of loss, and we take swift action to mitigate the situation.

Clearing Surface Water During Mitigation

Immediate extraction processes are crucial to tackle water damage in Mountain Home properties. It is vital to use vacuums and pumps to clear the pooling liquid to prevent sensitive hardwood plank flooring from absorbing moisture and deteriorating. The longer the exposure time, the greater the risk of warping and deterioration of the planks.

Understanding the Stages of Damage to Wood Flooring

Water damage in plank floors can affect the possibility of drying and restoration. The moisture level also determines whether we can salvage materials or if controlled demolition is required. Stages of water infiltration include:

  • Surface - Technicians can remove pooling on hardwood flooring using extractors, mops, towels, and air movers for drying. This stage is crucial for regulating water absorption and preventing the situation from worsening.
  • Free – SERVPRO® professionals use drying mats and equipment to remove moisture from wood planks before they bond molecularly.
  • Bound - The water has bonded with the wood planks' cellulose, causing distortion and warping. Restoration and drying are not feasible anymore.

Water damage to your flooring requires immediate action to avoid further damage to your home. At SERVPRO of Wood River Valley, we have the tools and expertise to protect your installed building materials effectively. Don't waste any time; call us immediately at (208) 788-0183 to get your flooring back in its best condition.
