Broken pipes are a common cause of water damage, and fast action is critical to minimizing the potential for secondary damage and more time-consuming and costly repairs. Water can cause significant damage to wood floors when the water is left standing and allowed to penetrate the wood. Here are some examples of potential damage:

Warping and Buckling: Wood is a porous material, and when it absorbs water, it can expand. This expansion can cause the wood planks to warp or buckle, creating uneven surfaces and an unsightly appearance. It may also make the floor unsafe to walk on.

Swelling: The individual wood fibers in the planks can swell when exposed to moisture, causing them to push against each other. This can lead to gaps between the planks, and in severe cases, the wood may crack or split.

Discoloration: Water can cause wood to stain or become discolored. Dark spots or patches may appear on the surface of the wood, and the finish can become cloudy or damaged.

Mold and Mildew Growth: Standing water can create a moist environment that is conducive to the growth of mold and mildew.
