Fitchburg Kitchen Damaged by a Water Leak

When water from a leaking water line on the dishwasher pools on a hardwood floor, bad things usually happen. This Fitchburg area kitchen's planks were soaked overnight, and if SERVPRO could, our technicians always attempt to salvage the boards. We always strive to restore and not replace. Just one of the many reasons insurance adjusters enjoy working with the professionals from our SERVPRO franchise. The excess water vacuumed up still left a lot of moisture that seeped through the cracks and wet the concrete pad. In this case, the planks were removed for slow drying to help prevent cupping and the pad allowed, over some days, to return to a normal moisture content level. The After Photo shows the kitchen now high and dry and ready for the reinstallation of the planks.
