A wet timber floor can often be saved, but only if it is dried the right way, fast. Left to dry on its own it cups, warps and lifts, and then it has to be replaced.
Solid and engineered timber floors absorb water and swell. As they dry unevenly they cup, crown and gap, and badly affected boards lift. Specialist drying aims to draw the moisture out evenly before that permanent damage sets in.
We measure the moisture in the boards and the subfloor, then use targeted drying systems designed for timber, controlling the rate so the floor dries evenly. We monitor it closely until it is back to a normal moisture level.
The window to save a timber floor is short. The sooner we start, the better the chance of keeping it rather than replacing it, which is a far bigger and more expensive job.
Often yes, if specialist drying starts quickly before the boards cup or lift. The faster we start, the better the chance.
Because it dries unevenly and cups, warps and gaps. Controlled drying draws the moisture out evenly to avoid that.
