Vintage DryHero Water & Mold footage explaining how professional water damage restoration dry out and save water damaged wood floors. Old video and admittedly long winded (sorry!), so please be kind?

The big picture is that the only way to quickly and thoroughly dry a water damaged wood floor is to pull air through the back of the wood planks, where the wood planks are wet. Our industry uses this matt system to evenly distribute the negative pressure suction. Pretty cool machine, as soon as it starts running you can smell the wet flooring.

Usually takes 3-7 days, depending on many variables (wood species, floor finish, subfloor substrate, vapor barriers, tar paper and duration of water exposure). Not real cost effective for small areas (less than 10-20 SF) because the fixed cost of restorative drying may exceed the value. Even a small wood floor drying effort with these machines will likely start around $1,000. At least to dry a wood floor in Lincoln Nebraska, where mitigation costs may be higher due to our large international, metropolitan footprint. May be less expensive in Paris, Tokyo, New York or Dubai.

Objective is to dry wood flooring back to equilibrium moisture content. A moisture meter is really a must, however, at DryHero we often will monitor the drying visually. If the flooring is cupped, the bottom of the plank is still wet. Best of luck! You can always call and we'll talk you through your water damaged wood flooring problem.
