Broken Water Softener Causes Water Damage on Hardwood Floor in Sandusky, MI

Water damage can happen when you least expect it, and that was the case for a homeowner in Sandusky, MI, when their water softener malfunctioned. The leak went unnoticed at first, allowing water to seep into the hardwood flooring. By the time they discovered the issue, the floor had already started to absorb moisture, creating the potential for warping and mold growth.

That's when SERVPRO® stepped in to make it "Like it never even happened."

Our Restoration Process

Upon arrival, our team quickly assessed the damage and began extracting the standing water using the Injectidry water extraction system. This advanced equipment allowed us to target moisture trapped beneath the hardwood without requiring extensive demolition.

To further accelerate the drying process and prevent secondary damage, we strategically placed air movers to increase airflow and dehumidifiers to pull excess moisture from the air. By maintaining optimal drying conditions, we successfully restored the flooring without needing a full replacement.

The Result

Thanks to our specialized drying techniques and quick response, we were able to save the hardwood floor and prevent further structural damage. The homeowner was relieved to see their home restored to its preloss condition, proving once again that SERVPRO® is the trusted choice for water damage restoration in Sandusky and beyond.
