When a water loss, such as a burst pipe affects and saturates your hardwood wood floor, within a couple of days the floor can start to warp and the hardwood floor may completely need to be removed and replaced.

Once your hardwood floor suffers water damage, they immediately become saturated. The quicker this water is removed from the flooring the more likeliness it is the floors can be saved. The most common piece of equipment used to save wood flooring is called an injectidry.

An injectidry system is used to extract the water and moisture from an affected floor. Floor panels are placed on the affected floor and a hose is connected to the floors panels on one end and an injectidry system on the other end. This system creates to suction to lift up the water and moisture below the surface of the floor.
