When Wood Gets Wet

The rate at which Wood absorbs water depends on wood type.  For example, Balsa wood readily absorbs water followed by Redwood then Pine.  Engineered Plywood subflooring is made of several thin layers of wood glued together and when wet the layers will eventually separate causing the flooring to feel spongy.  Oak which is considered a very hard wood is one of the least absorbent.  The harder the wood is the more success you’ll have at saving it when it gets wet.

High humidity causes condensation which creates wet wood around the home or business.  Doorways, Cabinet doors and window casements will swell and warp causing trouble when opening and closing.   Wooden floors when saturated with water over time will warp and buckle as they swell with absorbed water.  Visible Mold or the odor itself will alert homeowners to the moisture problem before serious structural damage occurs.

Speed of water removal is the key to saving most of your home or business wooden flooring- maybe even all of it.  After the visible water is removed, the hidden water needs to go.  How to Dry underneath Hardwood Floors:

• Injectidry plates (large rubber mats with conduits) are laid and sealed across the entire floor.
• Suction conduits- small hoses attached to the plates every few inches and connected to the main equipment hose.
• The Giant humidifier will process out the moisture with a continuous vacuum action.
• The exhaust hose for the excess moisture is pushed down a sink drain where it will empty till all moisture is gone.

Using heaters and high-speed fans to rapidly dry out any remaining airborne moisture is also done to ward off mold problems.  Minor warped wooded flooring when dried out completely will most likely to return to normal.  If the water has been on the surface long enough to blister the finish, you’ll need to refinish the wood floor.  However, the main goal is to avoid the trouble and cost of ripping it out and replacing it and we have the best process for it.
