If I had a penny for every time we have seen this situation happen...well, you know the rest!
Homeowners often make a very expensive mistake when they are faced with a water loss.
The most common mistakes often involves hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring can be a beautiful low-maintenance flooring option, but there can be potential problems when water is introduced.
- When water enters your home it can move very quickly and cause a significant amount of damage.
- You need to act quickly to protect flooring from irreparable damage.
- Water loss incidents require immediate extraction and drying to preserve floors, and our professionals can help.
Substantial loss incidents require a water removal service as soon as possible. Our SERVPRO of South Mecklenburg County team is ready 24/7 to respond to all water loss emergencies as fast as possible.
Many homeowners believe that they can solve a water loss on their own in order to save money, but attempting to dry a home, especially hardwood floors, after a water loss puts your flooring at risk of mold, buckled floors, and other problems.
Most often homeowners are unable to dry their flooring enough and are left with a persistent mold problem that will cause exponential mold growth.
A less common issue is overdrying floors. Sometimes homeowners are able to get their hands on professional equipment and without the proper training, it can be easy to over-dry hardwood flooring.
Oftentimes there is a belief that the drier the better, but unfortunately, hardwood floors have to have some moisture content to keep planks strong.
While you might be tempted to handle a water loss incident on your own, we recommend seeking the services of SERVPRO of South Mecklenburg County. We get there quickly with the right tools for the job.
