Has your wood floor been water damaged? If so, our new informative guide for water damage restoration is a great place to start.

ASET Services as released a new Informative Guide dealing with the response to, and restoration of a water damaged hardwood sport system. A common phrase among hardwood floor installers is that there are two kinds of hardwood floors; those that have been water damaged and those that will be water damaged. The guide is especially useful for sport surfaces, as they have construction details and requirements that are not well understood by large remediation firms.  Every water damage event is unique, and this guide is informative, and owners and insurance companies must develop their own custom response and restoration program. While informative, the guide provides facility owners with a starting point and with information that we help will allow them to make better decisions that save money and truly restore the surface to its original condition.
