Can Water Get Removed from Engineered Wood in Sevierville Homes?

SERVPRO inside the Orange House is your answer to water damage removal that saves your wood flooring in Sevierville

Wood flooring in Sevierville properties can absorb standing water quickly.

Wood plank flooring is a common installation in many area homes, which is challenging to dry without prompt extraction and water removal efforts by our SERVPRO professionals. Surface water concerns must get addressed first with extractors and wet vacuums from our recovery inventory. If trapped moisture exists in this flooring, there is a finite timetable to remove it before warping and distortion of the planks require demolition.

How Can SERVPRO Professionals Know the Material is Dry?

Peace of mind is not a guarantee with some of the restoration companies serving the area, but our SERVPRO team goes to great lengths to ensure that our water removal in Sevierville homes is thorough. After removing water from engineered wood flooring with drying mats and evaporative drying equipment, we can verify acceptable relative humidity levels with:

• Surface moisture meters
• Hygrometers
• Probing moisture detectors
• Thermal infrared imagery

From clearing surface water concerns to eliminating trapped water in wood plank flooring, prompt action can protect your home from unnecessary damage. Engineered planks are typically more warp resistant that natural wood planks. However, inexpensive laminated planks with a thin film top layer generally are not salvageable.
