Technology Driven Drying

SERVPRO of Boston Downtown / Back Bay / South Boston is very experienced in the mitigation of water, especially for wood floors. They are harder to dry and need an experienced restoration company to make sure that it is dried to the insurance industry standards. The most common problems with wood floors are:

  1. Cupping - When the sides raise forming a cup.
  2. Buckling - The ends will start to push themselves out.
  3. Mold - If left to dry on its own mold can form under the wood.

With the first two cases there is still a chance to save the wood floor. However, if there is mold present the floor will have to be removed.
