We have specialized floor drying systems that help pull moisture from within the wood itself as well as a range of air movers and dehumidifiers to create a customer drying plan based on the affected space and materials. It is important that you call us as soon as possible.  The quicker we arrive on-site to begin the extraction and mitigation, the greater the chances that we can save your hardwoods.  Here are some things you can do until we arrive:

Remove as many wet items including rugs and furniture if possible. You can use towels are rags to dry up as much of the excess water as you can.  Place fans in the rooms to keep the air moving and if you have a dehumidifier on hand, place it in the affected area.  Opening windows may also help if it is not hot or humid outside.
