Hardwood Flooring Damaged - Stayton, Oregon
When hardwood floors are damaged by burst water lines do these three things now!
Time is of the essence when your hardwood floors have sustained water damage due to a burst water line from the sink, or dishwasher.
Follow these simple steps to reduce the damage, time and cost to restore your hardwood flooring.
- Turn Off the water source to reduce the amount of water on the flooring.
- Extract as much water as you can. Even using a 5 gallon shop vacuum to remove as much of the standing water as possible is a great improvement.
- Wipe Dry. If there is still moisture sitting on top of the floor wipe it dry with towels to reduce the risk of slipping.
- Call SERVPRO of Salem West to start the drying process which can remove water that has seeped between the floor boards. The sooner you do this, the sooner the drying process can start and the sooner your home will be back to normal.
Remember, time is of the essence. The longer you wait to start services the greater the risk of more damages and higher cost to restore to preloss condition.
