What Hardwood Floor Water Damage Water Cleanup Includes in Sully
A Sully crew uses meters during hardwood floor water damage water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
A leak or overflow that runs between wood boards can soak solid or engineered boards, finish, underlayment and subfloor. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
A failed appliance may need its own technician. Meanwhile, extraction prevents pooled water from staying beneath the appliance and cabinets.
