Cracked toilet tank flooding

Cracked toilet tanks lead  to flooding.  The tank won't fill up because  the shut off  valve will never close without  the tank filling up properly.

Hardwood floor Drying #2

Once it has been determined that the floor can be salvaged by in-place drying, the first step is to determine a dry goal for the hardwood and subfloor. Directing warm dry air under and between the boards, is the most effective eay to dry the hardwood. The wood is considered dry when:  

  • Hardwood and sub-sufaces are within 2-4 percentage points of normal EMC. ( Equilibrium moisture content)
  • Sub-sufaces below harwood are dried to within 2-4 percentage points of the harwood.
After the wood flooring has been dried to an acceptable moisture level, It is important to remind people to allow sufficient acclimation time before the floor is reinished.
