A leak or overflow that runs between wood boards can soak solid or engineered boards, finish, underlayment and subfloor. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
