Water wreaks the most havoc on wood. If you have wood flooring and your home suffered from water damage, it’s likely that your floors will soak it up.

Before you rip out your hardwood floor, hire an expert first to assess the extent of the damage. The expert will first determine if the floor is still in good condition and if there are molds issues anywhere in the house.

Here are the things that you can do to salvage your floors:

1. Get rid of the water fast

Act quickly. You can hire First General to help you get rid of the standing water fast. If you have a sump pump, you can also use that to siphon the water and get it off your floors quickly. If the flooding is manageable, you can push the water out with cleaning tools.

2. Use a dryer to quickly remove lingering moisture

Quickly dry up the excess moisture using a rug. Air dry the room by opening the windows and using a fan. You can also use a hair dryer if you want to manually dry it up.

3. Hire a professional to do restoration in Vernon

After you are done cleaning, you can hire restoration in Vernon experts to start working on restoring your floors. The sooner you can have this done, the better. That will prevent molds from forming under the floors.

Do these things and you might not have to replace your hardwood floors. These are expensive so make sure you go the extra mile in saving them after a flood.
