Water Removal Crews In Franklin Talk About Mitigating Wet Hard Wood Floors

If a pipe ever breaks inside your Franklin home, many of your building materials can become damaged. When things get wet inside your house, it is wise to call in a professional water removal company such as SERVPRO. Our team knows that moisture follows gravity once it leaks out from its source. This can create problems with flooring materials including carpet, linoleum, and wooden floors. Whenever moisture negatively affects your building materials or contents, conducting water removal promptly can keep items from having to be removed and replaced.

In many cases, our SERVPRO technicians can remove the moisture from your building materials and save them from being counted as a loss. When arriving at a water removal project in Franklin, our team first secures the working area. If there are any potential hazards such as slip or fall dangers, we mitigate them before beginning any restoration procedures. Once the building is deemed secure for all of its occupants, we find the source of the moisture. We then either temporarily repair the leak ourselves or call in a certified plumber to fix the broken pipes.

Once we make it so that water stops spilling into your dwelling, we begin extracting it while it is still in liquid form. If there is a large amount of standing water on your hardwood floors, we vacuum it up using a truck-mounted extractor and extraction tools designed specifically for hard surfaces. Once all of the water we can extract gets pulled up out of the flooring materials, we begin the drying process.

In many cases, we can dry out most building materials using a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers. The air movers push the wet air away from the damp floor so that more moisture can evaporate out of the materials while the dehumidifiers handle water removal from the air. However, in more severe situations, other methods must get implemented so that the hardwood floors do not cup or buckle.

During severe cases, we use specialized drying mats to push water deep into the hardwood floor. If your wooden floors ever get wet during a plumbing failure, call SERVPRO of Williamson County at (615) 790-9634 any day of the week.
