Will Hardwood in My Plainsboro Home Dry on Its Own?

Having issues with drying your hardwood floor in your home? Call SERVPRO in your Plainsboro area.

Our SERVPRO professionals have extraction and drying solutions for hardwood floors to prevent demolition and replacement. 

Hardwood flooring is a common material in Plainsboro homes, but one that can be highly sensitive to standing water and absorption. Knowing how to dry out these materials is vital to protecting your investment in the house after a loss. 

Water removal for Plainsboro homes and their hardwood floors often falls to multiple different tools and strategies. As you might expect, removing surface water is always the first step in recovering the entire flooring system, as standing water pooling on top of the wood can continue to get absorbed into the planks. 

How Can My Flooring Get Professionally Dried? 

To avoid irreparable destruction of your wood flooring, such as warping and distortion of the individual planks, several tools can get used to begin methodically drying the flooring. Much like concrete, rapid changes in moisture content can be harmful to the material, so a controlled drying process occurs with tools like:

• Air Movers
• Drying Mat System
• Tenting
• Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Our SERVPRO of East Brunswick / Princeton Meadows professionals are standing by for any water loss need you might have. Give us a call today at (732) 432-9800.
