When drying out hardwood floors, it is important not to over dry! If hardwood floors are too saturated, they will begin to cup. At the same time, if they are too dry they will begin to shrink. Tented drying is an effective way to make sure the correct humidity is reached without any warping of your hardwood floors.

Water damage happens quickly and be expensive to fix.  Ignore a leak, and you could end up with a big mess on your hands.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage and freezing accounted for over a third of property damage claims - making it the most popular type of property damage claim in recent years.

Freezing claims include damage caused by such things as ice dams, frozen gutters and frozen pipes.  Other common causes of water damage include ruptured appliance hoses, leaky ice maker water lines, leaky pipes, leaky roofs and improperly sealed windows.

Remember, it takes between 48 - 72 hours for mold to grow and mold needs moisture.  So putting off repairing a leaky pipe can results in not only water damage, but mold growth as well.
