PuroClean Makes this Cabin in the Woods Anything but a Horror Story

Water Restoration

There is an aura of rustic wholesomeness to living in a log cabin. The peaceful tranquility of living in a more rural and natural setting is a feeling that many of us fantasize about finding in our lives. But, water damage has the annoying ability to remove you from that blissful state and bring you back into the real world. Thankfully, PuroClean of Terre Haute is here to assist you, no matter how deep in the woods your property is.

Extracting Water from the Log Cabin

We were recently called in to perform a water restoration to one of these cabins. This property was a custom-built log cabin in Linton, IN, constructed by local Amish design. The clients were a married couple who owned this cabin as a vacation home. Unfortunately, the water heater had leaked during one of their stays, and the hardwood floors became saturated. Furthermore, some of the floorboards had even buckled, past the point of saving.

When we showed up to help, the client said they were surprised we actually came. She mentioned that they were located in such a remote area that they had difficulties finding anyone to agree to drive out that far to help. In the past, on those occasions she required services, no one ever showed up in a company van. We were definitely a little taken back by the lack of professionalism they experienced with other companies but were more than happy to buck that trend.

Our team got to work immediately. The hardwood floors surrounding the tank had absorbed a high amount of moisture, which resulted in the wood undergoing a sort of cupping effect, curling upwards. We extracted the water from the boards and used special drying mats to reverse the cupping. Also, we removed the hardwood in the adjacent hallway to extract the water that penetrated the wood there, as well.

In relatively short order, we were able to complete the work in a 4-day span. The largest obstacle was the job location, but once we overcame the logistical hurdle, the job went very smoothly. The clients were thrilled with the work and professionalism we exhibited throughout the process.
