Saved hardwoods, saved hassle. 🪵💧
When water damages hardwood floors, replacement isn't always the only answer. On a recent water loss, our team was able to save the original hardwood flooring by drying it in place.
Here’s how our specialized drying process works:
1. Precision Moisture Extraction: We place specialized drying mats directly on the affected flooring to slowly and evenly draw bound moisture out of the wood.
2. Targeted Containment: We seal off the affected area with plastic sheeting to isolate the environment and maximize efficiency.
3. Heat & Dehumidification: Using layflat tubing paired with commercial dehumidifiers, we pipe continuous hot, dry air straight into the contained space to accelerate evaporation without causing cupping or warping.
Our customers love this approach because it’s far less invasive, avoids weeks of noisy demolition, and preserves the natural beauty of their original floors.
At SERVPRO of Rocky Mount and Tarboro, we take the time to evaluate every unique situation and understand what matters most to you. Our goal is always to deliver smart, effective solutions to restore your property to pre-loss condition—Like it never even happened.
