Hardwood Floor Water Damage Repair FAQs
Does homeowners insurance cover hardwood floor leak repair?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. Sudden, accidental events are more likely covered.
How does hardwood floor drying work?
Pros use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers and moisture meters to pull moisture from the planks and subfloor, which limits warping.
What happens if hardwood floor water damage is not treated?
Water left in hardwood leads to cupping, warping, mold under the floor and subfloor rot, and the floor may need to be replaced.
How long does hardwood floor water extraction and drying take?
It depends on how wet the floor is, the room conditions and the type of wood. Most floors take several days to over a week.
Why is wet subfloor drying important for hardwood floors?
A damp subfloor keeps pushing moisture into the hardwood, so the boards keep cupping and mold can start if it is not dried.
