We restore water damage 24/7 in Aitkin County.

Our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties teams are leaders in water damage restoration services. When a kitchen appliance leaks, it can cause significant damage in a short amount of time. Hardwood floors are particularly vulnerable to water damage due to their porous nature and sensitivity to moisture. Here are some of the potential damages:

Staining and Discoloration

Water can cause stains and discoloration on hardwood floors. The wood may darken or develop unsightly spots, diminishing the aesthetic appeal of your flooring. In severe cases, mold and mildew can form, leading to further discoloration and potential health hazards.

Warping and Buckling

When hardwood floors are exposed to water, the wood absorbs the moisture, causing it to expand. This can lead to warping and buckling, where the wood swells and lifts, creating uneven surfaces that can be hazardous.

Subfloor Damage

Water can seep through the hardwood and damage the subfloor beneath. This can cause the entire flooring system to become unstable and may require extensive repairs to ensure the safety and functionality of your kitchen
