SERVPRO arrives swiftly to mitigate storm damage in Oyster Bay commercial structures, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster

We help Oyster Bay bars with flood damage return to safe and normal conditio

For most of our flood restoration projects, much of our attention focuses on affected floor materials. Some of the most visible damages can happen to wood floors, but these damages rarely become permanent with our expertise.

We commonly encounter problems with wood flooring in Oyster Bay bars with flood damage. After absorbing water, most types of wood swell and warp, sometimes creating trip hazards in the process. While these problems may appear severe, part of our Water Damage Repairs strategy involves treatments that can return most affected areas to their normal appearances.

Wood can warp in multiple ways depending on the boards' size, shape, and material. We also must be alert for contamination if the flooding was caused by groundwater or a sewage backup. Most hardwood floors experience either cupping, raising the edges of each board, or crowning, a puffing-up of the center parts of the boards. Regardless of the problems faced, our general treatment strategy remains the same: we arrive as fast as possible to the incident site and begin careful drying measures while monitoring for mold growth and subfloor damage. You should call us immediately for:

• Water Removal Services
• Burst pipes that soak the area
• Any incident affecting a large area or porous materials

Through fast and professional services, SERVPRO of Oyster Bay can help get your bar doors open as soon as possible after a disaster. Call us at (516) 464-3300.
