It is important to mention that there are different types of wood flooring, such as pine, maple, oak & cherry, and many other exotic types. Each type of flooring is different in moisture retention. If the floor is nailed, then nails should be lifted, and the water removed. On glued floors, then moisture can release the glue.
When it comes to drying the hardwood floor, we decide what drying method we will use in order to remove this moisture. Whether it’s dehumidification or forced airflow beneath the floor’s surface. Usually, it takes up to 10 days to dry the hardwood floor until the wood’s moisture levels reach four percent of the floor’s dry standard. When it comes to the floor finish such as waxes & polyurethane, we must assess the floor, so it won’t crack due to the movement of the wood.
If the damage to your water-damaged flood is severe, contact Re-Store Services and we will give you a free evaluation, restore your hardwood floor & make sure, the water damage to your hardwood flooring will become a thing of the past.
