St. Louis Restoration Company Restores Floors With Water Damage Cleanup

Wright City, United States - August 18, 2020 / Vinnie Mac /

The St. Louis area has experienced a high amount of storms this month with an average of 3 inches of rain every time a storm rolls in. These storms can lead to flooding, which leads to the potential for water damage to your home or business. Flooding inside a building can have a particularly devastating effect on flooring. Whether it’s tile, hardwood, or carpeting, flooring is especially susceptible to the effects of water damage. That’s why it’s a good idea to seek the aid of a restoration company that specializes in water damage cleanup for floors.

Why You Need Water Damage Cleanup for Floors

Water damage can have both immediate and long term effects on flooring. The longer water is allowed to sit on a surface, the greater chance there is for lasting structural damage. When water seeps past the outer layer of the floor into the subfloor, the floor can become saturated and unmanageable. You should try to start the water damage cleanup process immediately by soaking up as much water as you can and setting up a dehumidifier if you have one. You want to address the water damage problem as soon as possible if you want a better chance at reducing the effects.

At this point it might be a good idea to call a water damage cleanup company. ABC Environmental Contracting Services utilizes a variety of methods to implement water damage restoration on different types of flooring.

Different Types of Flooring Require Different Methods Of Water Damage Cleanup

Tiled Flooring

Tile flooring is the type that fares best against water damage. The tile is not likely to absorb water and if it's placed correctly, the water should not be able to seep to the floor below. But you can still remove the tiles to check underneath for damage and tiles can usually be reused after the water damage removal is performed below. The best way to avoid water damage is to purchase high-quality tiles for your flooring.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring can be tricky since it’s hard to tell how extensive water damage is and if it’s possible for the floor to be salvaged. Water can seep into wood flooring into the subfloor below only 24 hours after flooding and it can be hard to tell just how much water has been absorbed. A restoration company that specializes in water damage can provide the specialized equipment necessary to determine how much moisture is in the flooring. Hardwood is difficult to install and expensive to replace, so it’s good to know exactly what needs to be done with water damage cleanup.

Carpeting

Carpeting is the most difficult type of flooring to salvage because of how porous it is. Even if you dry it out to the greatest extent you can, there’s still a chance of mold growth resulting from trapped moisture. It is usually best to replace carpeting if it’s been impacted by water damage.
