  • Save-versus-replace — solid hardwood often recovers; engineered and saturated boards sometimes do not
  • Subfloor moisture — the boards dry while the plywood beneath still holds water — both get verified

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wet hardwood floors be saved in Wayne homes?

Often yes. Solid hardwood with clean-water exposure responds well to mat drying started inside the first days. Engineered boards and long-saturated sections sometimes need replacement — the readings make the call.

How does mat drying work?

Drying mats seal to the floor and pull moisture through the boards with negative pressure, flattening cupping as they dry. It is the standard that avoids tearing out a floor that wanted to stay.

Why are my boards cupping?

Cupping is the board's edges swelling higher than its center — water underneath wicking up the sides. Drying the subfloor and the board together is what flattens it; sanding a wet cupped floor ruins it.

How long does hardwood drying take?

Three to seven days under mats for a typical room, with readings on both board and subfloor before the equipment comes off.

Will the floor need refinishing after?

Light cupping often flattens back to acceptable; deeper damage refinishes after the moisture stabilizes. The finish call comes after the dry call in every Wayne job.
