Water can cause a lot of damage to wood floors. Some wood materials are pre-treated to repel water but others might not be as resistant to water damage.

You need to assess how much damage has been done to your hardwood floor. The longer your floors sit under high levels of water, the more damage they will incur. This is why it’s important to hire water damage restoration services as soon as possible so they can remove the standing water from your home quickly and minimize damage.

Clean the surface of your wood floors. Wipe it down with a clean cloth and let it air dry. You can open the window in the room to allow air to come inside the room and dry up the floors naturally. Use a fan as well to aid the drying process.

If the floors are still in good condition and you don’t see buckling, heavy staining, or crowning after some time, you probably don’t need to have it replaced. You can hire water damage restoration services in Kelowna to clean it and then perform minor restoration procedures to prevent molds from growing.

Watch out for moldy smell or signs of black molds forming on the edges of the walls where it meets with the floors. That could mean there are molds growing in your subfloors that you can’t see. In this case, you need the help of Total Restoration to get rid of the problem and restore your wood floors and your entire home to the way it was before the water damage.
