Drying Mats Save the Day Against Oyster Bay Water Damage

A large-scale leak affecting this hardwood flooring in an Oyster Bay kitchen got detailed attention from the certified techs at SERVPRO. Exposure to water is not an automatic ticket to replacing the floorboards, as long as the restoration services begin rapidly. The technicians extracted the water and moved to the drying phase. Drying mats got used in several places to force warm, dry air into the wood and capture the raised moisture as it got forced out. This tactic allows the techs to dry the flooring in place and limits the home's disruption during the cleanup and saves the homeowner the cost of replacement.
