Bob Pelham and his associate from Flood Kings came to my house to examine the water damage from an overflowing sink. The water had overflowed for an hour or more and flowed under a hardwood floor. The area impacted included a corridor, a dining room, and a portion of a living room and wet bar. Several days had passed since the water intrusion and the floors were cupped. Bob and his associate came equipped with water extraction equipment consisting of flat panels which were taped to the floor and tied through hoses to a suction fan. A dehumidifier was placed near the fan. The fan drew air from under the floor removing moisture. Bob and his associate checked moisture levels every two or three days until the moisture level reached the normal reading and the panels were removed after two weeks. The cupping is completely gone in most areas affected and is greatly reduced in the remaining areas. It is likely I will not need to do any repair work to the floors. The chance for mold growth to occur was largely eliminated by the air passing over the underfloor until dry. I cannot say enough about the quick response of Bob and his associate from Flood Kings and the thorough job they did to insure my satisfaction. I was convinced before I called them that the floors were ruined and would have to be replaced. My wife's mother had passed away the night before the flood and we had several house guests for the funeral by the time I found out about Flood Kings. We could not rip the floors out at that time and deal with all that goes along with replacing and refinishing floors. I was just hoping that his process would eliminate mold and buy us some time until we needed to replace the floor. I was elated to see the results and to know that at most, I may need to do some light surface work to a portion of the floor. Thanks Bob and Flood Kings.
