Restoring Water-Damaged Hardwood in Montrose Homes

Water loss incidents that occur in your Montrose home can pose several concerns for its structural integrity and construction materials. Responding quickly to pooling water can help to reduce the saturation of affected materials by getting professional restoration technicians on site quickly to begin drying and extraction efforts. This response is especially critical when hardwood floors become saturated or exposed to the water loss incident. With the right equipment and expertise, our technicians can help to preserve your flooring quickly.

Often restoring water damage to hardwood flooring in your Montrose home relies on the use of advanced equipment like our injectidry system. This setup can work to pull moisture from the material at a controlled rate, while also allowing our SERVPRO team to monitor moisture content throughout the process. Hardwood has a natural moisture level that varies slightly based on atmospheric conditions and climate, but this low moisture content is important to protect the strength and look of the planks.

Our technicians responding to a water loss incident in your home can assess moisture content within the wood planks of your flooring using moisture detection devices as well as thermal imagery. This knowledge can help our professionals to find the ideal locations to install the injectidry mats to begin drawing moisture from the exposed wood planks that indicate excessive moisture levels.

Restoring hardwood is a delicate process because excessive drying of the planks can cause damage as well, so it is essential for our team to determine a constant moisture level to obtain before we begin drying efforts of the wood and subflooring with our mats. For excessively saturated floors, we can tent in the mats of the injectidry system to maintain a constant draw across the entire floor beneath the tent, which is ideal in instances where excessive moisture could begin to warp and distort the planks.

Hardwood floors are an everyday staple of modern construction, but without the appropriate restoration team helping to dry them out after a water loss incident, could prove costly to replace. Give our SERVPRO of Montrose / Telluride rapid response team a call today at (970) 240-6970.
