Water Damage, Hardwood Flooring, SERVPRO--Nutley

A pressurized burst line can leave standing water on the surface of hardwood flooring very quickly. When a Nutley resident discovered this pooling water in the first level of his home he wisely called SERVPRO immediately. And we responded almost as fast. Our truck-mounted pumped vacuumed out most of the water, and then we set up our drying equipment. The tongue and groove boards showed some cupping at the joints, but our air movers and LGR low grain refrigerant dehumidifier soon restored a normal RH relative humidity level within the affected area. Because of the fast action to mitigate the water damage, our goal of restoring and not replacing the flooring did not require the use of drying mats to pull out moisture from between the planks and the underlying floor joists. If you have an emergency in your home or place of business caused by water, mold, or fire, you know who to call--SERVPRO.
