Discoloration and swelling from water damage.

When a water damage occurs, one of the first materials to be affected is your flooring. SERVPRO North Huntsville follows IICRC water damage remediation standards to determine whether a flooring material is or is not salvageable. Each material has a different set of signs for water damage, and it is beneficial for a homeowner to be able to identify early signs of water damage so that our technicians can address the problem immediately.

• Carpet: Discoloration, odor, mold, or mildew

• Tile: Possible discoloration, empty or hollow sound when tapped on

• Hardwood: Buckling, dark spots or discoloration, bulging, or cupping

• Laminate: Swelling around the edges, warping, discoloration, mold or mildew smell

• Linoleum: Discoloration

If you suspect that your flooring is showing early signs of water damage, call SERVPRO North Huntsville at (256) 534-1177 as soon as possible!
