Saving Wet Hardwood Floors Specialty

Water Damage Outer Banks, NC

You only have a short window of time to save wet hardwood floors, and once that window of time is closed, the boards are cupped and bowed forever. On this fire job in Kitty Hawk, the fire suppression sent thousands of gallons of water onto the owner’s prized salvaged 100-year-old heart pine floors. Quick thinking saved these floors for the owners, and we all exhaled a collective sigh of relief when we accomplished the job! Once the home was safe and dry, contents were restored and returned to the home.
