Wood Floors, Furniture and Carpets
Nothing is safe during a flood. Many homeowners know this and often worry about the fate of expensive carpeting or wood floors after serious water damage. The threats are very real. Aside from rot and water-logging, mold growth is a serious risk, one that often occurs after inefficient DIY responses to floods, according to the EPA.
While there are times when flood damage is simply too much, homeowners can rest easy knowing in most cases, wood floors, windows and furniture are salvageable with a combination of drying techniques and restoration services. Depending on the nature of the flood, the wood may need only drying, cleaning or refinishing. Furniture with heavy finishes often stands a better chance at recovery since the bare wood isn’t exposed to water.
Minor floods—even those only a few inches deep—can still pose serious risks to wood floors. Many homeowners
make the mistake of attempting to solve the problem by opening the
windows and mopping the area. This usually isn’t enough. According to Wood Monsters, different species of wood will react differently to water. In many cases, flood water can even penetrate floor finishes, leaving the boards prone to cracking and buckling.
Qualified restoration experts will be able to determine the amount of damage the flood has done to the floor based on the finish, wood type and time it’s been exposed. All this information is put to use in a recovery plan that’s specific to each job.
