The importance of immediate action for timber floor drying
In most cases, we can dry and save your timber floors
Our advanced heat drying and dehumidification process can evaporate moisture and save your timber floors from permanent damage. However, you must act fast; the longer timber floors remain wet, the less chance we have of saving them.
It’s important to act fast to prevent permanent damage
As your timber floors remain wet, they will continue to swell, and cupping can become quite severe. The more moisture and the greater the cupping in the floor, the harder it will be to dry and restore. Also, the longer the timber floors remain wet, the greater the risk for mould growth to set in, adding another complexity to the restoration process.
Save a huge expense
Replacing timber floors will cost thousands and be extremely inconvenient. Living in your house without timber floors will be a nightmare, to say the least. Call the team at Flood Fixers today, and we can inspect your water-damaged timber floors to see if we can dry them and save them from permanent damage.
Reduce mould risk
Wet timber floors are an ideal environment for mould growth. The faster we dry your floors, the lower the risk of mould setting in and complicating the restoration process.
In summary, what happens if you delay timber flooring drying
Delaying timber floor drying can lead to severe damage:
Cupping and warping
The longer timber stays wet, the more it swells, leading to permanent cupping.
Mould growth
Wet timber provides an ideal mould environment, creating health risks and further complicating restoration.
Costly replacements
Replacing timber floors can be extremely expensive. Acting fast to dry and restore the floors can save thousands in repair costs.
In most cases, we can dry and save your timber floors after water damage. You must act fast; the longer timber floors remain wet, the less chance we have to save them.

Our timber floor drying process
Flood Fixers’ timber floor drying process is designed to dry your floors and restore them to their original condition.
Anti-microbial treatment
Typically, we would start by treating and cleaning the affected timber floors with specialised anti-microbial products to reduce the risk of mould growth.
Heat drying and dehumidification
We place heat mats on the affected areas and use dehumidifiers to help evaporate the excess moisture from the timber. This step is crucial to restoring the moisture balance in your floors.
Continuous monitoring
We monitor the drying process closely, checking moisture levels until they return to normal. Drying timber floors takes time, but patience is key to preventing long-term damage.
Timber floor cupping and how we fix it
As timber floors absorb moisture, they begin to swell and expand. As they swell and expand, the edges of the timber rise up and begin to cup. Our drying process can remove this cupping and flatten out the floor again. As we remove the moisture, the timber relaxes and releases the pressure on the edges of the timber, which removes the cupping and flattens out the timber floor.
