How Hardwood Floor Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Anacortes

2. Find absorbed moisture

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph solid or engineered boards before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
