Our Hardwood Floor Drying Process (Not Just "Wiping it Up")

You can't save a hardwood floor with towels and fans. This is a scientific process.

1. Water Extraction: We first use powerful vacuums to extract all surface water.
2. Specialized Mat Drying: This is the critical step. We lay down high-pressure "drying mats" that create a seal on the floor. These mats are connected to a vacuum system that pulls water and moisture through the wood and from the subfloor below.
3. Structural Dehumidification: As we pull the moisture out, we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers to capture it from the air. This prevents the moisture from being reabsorbed and stops secondary damage (like mold growth).
4. Daily Monitoring: We use non-invasive moisture meters to take daily readings, ensuring the floor and the subfloor are drying to a safe, pre-loss condition.This process is the best way to prevent permanent cupping, warping, and the need for a costly replacement.
