Hardwood Floor Water Damage Repair in Salt Lake City
Water-damaged hardwood floors require immediate attention to avoid warping, cupping, or permanent damage. At Vivid Water Damage & Restoration, we specialize in hardwood floor damage restoration for homes and businesses in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas.
Signs of Water-Damaged Hardwood Floors

- Cupping (edges higher than center)
- Discoloration or staining
- Musty odors indicating mold under the floor

If your hardwood flooring has been exposed to water for more than a few hours, professional drying and restoration may be needed to prevent structural and cosmetic damage.
Common Causes of Hardwood Floor Water Damage
- Floods and storm runoff
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Overflowing sinks, bathtubs, or toilets
- Fire sprinkler systems
- Long-term moisture buildup or humidity
Our Hardwood Floor Restoration Process
- Moisture Detection: We use specialized tools to detect moisture deep within the flooring and subfloor.
- Drying: Our high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers target trapped moisture to stop mold and warping.
- Board Evaluation: We determine which planks can be saved and which need replacing.
- Cleaning & Sanding: Surfaces are treated with antimicrobial solutions, then refinished if needed.
- Repair or Reinstallation: Severely damaged areas are rebuilt to match the original flooring style.
