Timber Floor Water Damage Drying
DOES YOUR WOOD FLOOR HAVE WATER OR FLOOD DAMAGE?
HAS THERE BEEN AN UNEXPECTED FLOOD IN YOUR PROPERTY?
How it actually Works
The black panels are placed on the floor with an air tight seal around the edges. The small yellow hoses you see are then attached to the holes on the black panel. The hoses are connected to the injectidry system forming suction underneath the black panels. Air will travel from between the subfloor and flooded hardwood/timber floor through the groves between the boards, bringing moisture out. An industrial dehumidifier is used in the middle of the room to pull the moisture out of the room
