When hardwood floors have been wet for more than a few hours, cupping, bowing, and other warping will probably occur. Our technicians lay plastic panels and secure them to the floor, making a close-to-airtight seal; the machine then uses suction to create a flow of air through the layers of wood that make up your floor.

While some abnormalities of shape will remain, the use of this machine can usually keep them small enough that sanding and refinishing the floors will return them to their original state.

Here, you can see the setup along with a large refrigerant dehumidifier in the background.
