Water damage can have devastating effects on your property, especially when it affects essential areas like sub-floors, wooden floors, and hard flooring surfaces. At Flood Services Australia, we specialise in expert sub-floor, wood, and hard floor drying solutions, designed to restore the structural integrity of your floors and prevent long-term damage. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure your floors are thoroughly dried, reducing the risk of mould, bacteria, and further deterioration.
Water extraction is just the first step. Drying these areas thoroughly is essential to restore their condition and ensure your property remains safe and habitable. Water left trapped in floors can cause swelling, warping, and even structural instability. This is why you need professional sub-floor and wood floor drying services that go beyond typical cleaning, focusing on full moisture removal and long-term protection.
How Water Can Damage Your Floors
Water can damage your floors in several ways, particularly when it infiltrates sub-floors, wood, and hard flooring. The most common sources of water damage include:
- Flooding: Heavy rains or storms can cause flooding that seeps into floors, damaging both wooden surfaces and sub-floors.
- Burst Pipes: Broken or leaking pipes often release large amounts of water, quickly flooding areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or basements, leading to floor damage.
- Appliance Overflows: Appliances like washing machines or dishwashers, when they overflow, can flood nearby floors, leading to severe damage if not promptly addressed.
- Sewage Backup: When sewer lines back up, contaminated water can flood your floors, causing significant damage to wood and sub-floor materials.
- Condensation and Moisture: Prolonged exposure to moisture, even without standing water, can cause floors to warp, swell, and weaken over time.
If water is not effectively removed from floors, it can lead to permanent damage such as wood warping, sub-floor instability, and mould growth, which can be both costly and hazardous to your health. That’s why prompt, professional drying is essential for protecting your floors and preventing long-term damage.
