Water Damaged Hardwoods

This homeowner called SERVPRO of Pickens County after noticing a few changes in their hardwood flooring. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them the main water line in their home had ruptured. The water went untouched for a week before signs of damage began to appear. When our team arrived, most of the hardwood flooring displayed signs of severe water damage. Our production team surveyed the damage and determined the best course of action to mitigate the damage. To start the process, the crew moved the customer's belongings and furniture outside of the home and into a safe and secure location. The team then began the process of removing the flooring and set up special drying equipment to stabilize the work areas. After a few days, all the damaged hardwoods had been demoed, and the wet areas had been dried out.
