Mold Remediation & Water Damage Restoration | Ma r& Son in Elmira, NY

In Elmira, hardwood floor water damage is often caused by burst pipes during freeze-thaw cycles, flooding from the Chemung River after heavy rains, or leaks from appliances and roofs. The moisture seeps into the wood, causing it to warp, cup, or buckle. Our team identifies the source, removes damaged sections, and dries the area thoroughly before restoring or replacing the flooring.

Common signs include a musty odor, visible mold growth on joists or insulation, warped wood, standing water after rain, and increased humidity in your home. In Elmira’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles and poor drainage can trap moisture. We inspect your crawl space, address the moisture source, and perform mold remediation to prevent structural damage and health risks.

After a flood near the Chemung River, mold can grow within 24-48 hours on wet drywall, carpets, and wood. We start by extracting standing water and drying the area with industrial equipment. Then we remove contaminated materials, apply antimicrobial treatments, and seal surfaces. Our process ensures mold is eliminated and your home is safe, helping you recover quickly from flood-related damage.
