hardwood floors are prone to water damage, making drying after mopping a necessity. Water left on floors can seep into the cracks and seams between floorboards or vinyl tiles or around the perimeter of the room. Water can cause substrate swelling, adhesive bond failure or warping and twisting of wood. Water can also cause mold, mildew and wood rot to the substrate and support structure beneath the floor.
