Damage Restoration in Des Moines, IA | Restoration 1 of Des Moines

Hardwood floor water damage is often caused by HVAC condensate overflow, burst pipes, or heavy rain during tropical storms. In Des Moines’ humid summer months, condensation from HVAC units can seep into floors, causing them to cup or buckle. Early signs include subtle swelling along seams, a musty odor, or cupping where floorboards rise at the edges. If you notice any of these, call Restoration 1 of Des Moines for prompt water extraction and drying to prevent warping or mold growth.

A bathroom overflow—from a clogged toilet or a sink left running—can quickly spread water through flooring and into subfloors. Restoration 1 of Des Moines will first stop the source and extract standing water. Then, we place industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the area thoroughly, reducing the risk of rot or mold. For Des Moines homes with tile or vinyl, we also check for water trapped under flooring to prevent hidden damage.

Tropical storm flooding can bring contaminated water into basements and lower levels. Restoration 1 of Des Moines uses truck-mounted extraction units and powerful drying equipment to remove water quickly. We then apply antimicrobial treatments to sanitize affected surfaces and prevent mold growth. In neighborhoods like Water Works Park or along the Raccoon River, we also assess for structural issues and coordinate with your insurance to make the process smoother.
