Many Nickerson homes feature original hardwood flooring, particularly in the older neighborhoods near Main Street. When water exposure is caught early, these floors can be dried in place using our targeted mat extraction system. The mats create negative pressure that pulls moisture through the wood without lifting boards.
Cupping occurs when the underside of the board stays wetter than the top surface. Our drying strategy addresses this by controlling airflow and humidity levels throughout the drying process. We monitor moisture content daily with pin meters, adjusting equipment placement as readings change.
Solid hardwood tolerates drying better than engineered wood. Engineered floors have thinner veneer layers that delaminate when saturated. Our initial assessment determines whether your floor is a candidate for drying or if replacement is more cost-effective.
Can I do it myself? Fans move air but lack the extraction power to pull moisture from wood fibers. Professional drying delivers faster, more reliable results.
Will it look the same? Most floors return to their original appearance after drying. Minor cupping may require light sanding and refinishing.
How soon can you start? Within hours of your call. The first 24 to 48 hours are critical for hardwood survival.
Already cupping? Cupping reverses with slow, controlled drying. We do not rush the process.
Engineered vs solid? Solid hardwood dries better. Engineered may need replacement if veneer delaminates.
