Our Services
At our Nashville Flooring Company, we provide comprehensive solutions for water-damaged floors with advanced techniques and professional equipment. Our team of certified technicians delivers prompt, reliable service to restore your floors to their original condition.
Water Damage Assessment
We begin every restoration project with a thorough assessment of your water-damaged floors. Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water pockets that might compromise your flooring's structural integrity.
The assessment includes measuring moisture levels in both visible and concealed areas. We carefully examine subflooring, baseboards, and adjacent walls to determine the full extent of water damage.
Emergency Water Removal
We understand that standing water causes progressive damage, which is why we respond with urgency to extract water from your floors. Our powerful truck-mounted extractors and specialized equipment remove water efficiently from all flooring materials.
Our technicians are trained to handle various flooring types including hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and carpet. We use specialized floor mat systems to draw moisture from hardwood floors without causing additional damage.
After water extraction, we implement strategic drying protocols using industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers. These systems create optimal drying conditions by controlling airflow, temperature, and humidity levels.
Our technicians position equipment to create effective drying chambers around affected flooring. We use specialized floor drying systems that draw moisture up and out of hardwood and other porous flooring materials.
Drying and Dehumidification
Repair and Restoration
Once your floors are thoroughly dried, our skilled craftsmen begin the restoration process. We assess which sections can be saved and which require replacement, always aiming to preserve as much of your original flooring as possible.
For hardwood floors, we offer refinishing services to address water stains, minor warping, and discoloration. Our techniques include sanding, staining, and applying protective finishes to restore your floor's natural beauty.

Preventing Further Water Damage
Water damage prevention is a critical aspect of maintaining your Nashville home's flooring investment. By implementing strategic preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of costly repairs and extend the life of your floors.
Regular Maintenance to Avoid Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are among the leading causes of indoor flooding in Nashville homes, especially during our heavy rainfall seasons. We recommend cleaning all household drains monthly using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, followed by hot water.
Install drain guards in showers, tubs, and sinks to catch hair and debris before they cause blockages. These simple screens can prevent costly water damage emergencies.
Proper Installation and Sealing
Quality installation forms your first defense against water damage. We ensure all flooring materials in Nashville homes are properly acclimated to our local humidity conditions for 24-48 hours before installation.
Proper underlayment selection is crucial for laminate and engineered wood floors, especially in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and entryways. We use vapor barriers with overlapping seams in these locations.
Routine Inspection for Leakages and Moisture
Quarterly inspections can identify potential water issues before they cause significant damage. Check under sinks, around toilets, and behind appliances for signs of moisture or leaks.
Use a moisture meter (available at Nashville hardware stores) to detect hidden moisture in walls and flooring. Readings above 16% indicate potential problems requiring immediate attention.
Immediate Action on Signs of Water Damage
When you notice buckling, cupping, or discoloration in your flooring, act immediately. These are early warning signs of water exposure that, if addressed quickly, can prevent mold growth and structural damage.
Water damage emergencies require professional response within 24-48 hours. Our emergency team is available for rapid water extraction and drying to minimize damage to your Nashville home.
