SERVPRO Applies Regular and Advanced Water Clean-Up Techniques in Everett Properties

Wood is a semi-porous material, so extended water exposure is detrimental to hardwood floors. Even sealing does not eliminate the chances of swelling, warping, or rotting when the floor surface is submerged. By using the appropriate water damage remediation techniques, it is possible to save your floor.

The most urgent water restoration task in Everett homes is the evacuation of the water covering your wooden floors. With a powerful water extractor, you can finish this in a matter of minutes. Our SERVPRO technicians use several types of water extractors, including portable and truck-mounted ones.

Tricks of the trade for successful drying

Drying the wet floor is the other aspect of the water clean-up process. Unlike extraction, drying is a challenging process because the chosen method must remove the moisture trapped deep within the wooden planks. Using dehumidifiers and air movers is rarely sufficient. Our SERVPRO technicians can use drying mats to extract water vapor from the wooden planks. We use one extractor and several mats interlinked with hoses to cover a vast section of the floor. Our teams handle specialized as well as regular water loss situations like:

• Emergency services water damage
• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks
