Wood & Timber Floor Water Damage Drying

DOES YOUR WOOD FLOOR HAVE WATER OR FLOOD DAMAGE?



HAS THERE BEEN AN UNEXPECTED FLOOD IN YOUR PROPERTY?

New Life Restoration can dry and restore water damaged timber floors. Many people believe that replacement is the only option when their hardwood floor is affected by water damage. This is not always the case. We may be able to save the floor with an Injectidry system (see below).

Timber Floor Water Damage Restoration

How it actually Works

The black panels are placed on the floor with an air tight seal around the edges. The small yellow hoses are 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.

If the Damage is Left Unattended....

The timber floor in this photo has started to expand due to water damage. We were unable to save this floor because the water had been sitting there for too long.

Other ways a Timber Floor can be Damaged by Flooding


Crowning - This may happen when the bottom of the wood floor dries and flattens out while leaving the tops of the timber bloat.


Cupping - occurs when the bottom of the timber flooring holds more moisture than the top. The top generally dries faster than the bottom.


If the floor is sanded before it has had a chance to fully dry, the top of the surface will be flat but the bottoms are still damaged.
