Hardwood Floors and Water Damage

Despite their elegance and durability, hardwood floors are no exception to water damage.  Because of their density, they, however, naturally hold up better than softwoods when subjected to high moisture settings. The effect of water on the material depends on the quantity of water and the duration it remains on the floor. SERVPRO® focuses on preventing buckling, cupping, or warping from becoming permanent.

Practical strategies to restore hardwood floors:

• Reducing the relative humidity to 30%
• Increasing the air temperature to speed up the evaporation process once the floor’s moisture content is below 16%
• Forcing airflow underneath a hardwood floor, drying it from below

Fire Damage on Hardwood Floors

Wood flooring comes in various styles. The most widely used type is strip flooring, which contains strips with a tongue on one side and a groove on the other. SERVPRO crews endeavor to remove smoke residues without affecting the floor’s finish. We damp mop with a neutral pH cleaner for light to moderate smoke residues. 

SERVPRO carefully restores hardwood floors from water and fire damage.
