Can SERVPRO Repair Damage to Ceramic Tile Caused by Flood Damage in Coventry?

Many clients are surprised to learn that flood waters can damage tile floors in their Coventry homes and businesses. They expect debris and contaminated material after a flood; however, tile floors are considered non-porous and should be fine after thorough cleaning and disinfection. SERVPRO® provides flood damage cleaning, repair, and restoration services to our flood damaged clients in Coventry and surrounding areas. We immediately deploy high-capacity pumps, water extractors, air movers, and dehumidifiers to remove water and reduce high humidity to normal levels inside the home. All surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Any items or structure that cannot be repaired is removed and disposed of. We can also help with restoration and repairs, including electrical, plumbing, floor and wall repairs, and much more.

Tile floors would seem to be impervious to water, especially in a flood situation that has inundated your home. However, vinyl and ceramic tiles are often glued or cemented to a wood subfloor. The water and moisture can penetrate the subfloor through cracks in the grout, causing swelling and warping of the wood. Any time a subfloor warps or swells, ceramic tile can crack. Vinyl tiles will become dislodged. Both situations require the replacement of the tiles and often the subfloor if we cannot properly dry it.

Our fast response to your flood damage requests is aimed at minimizing this secondary damage. We respond in less than four hours from your call and use non-penetrating moisture meters to check for potential subfloor moisture issues.
