Drying a wood floor


We have been drying a lot of wood floor lately.  This is a specialized area of drying that not just anyone can do.  There is special equipment needed and a lot of knowledge about the different types of wood and wood floors if you are to be successful.  Besides needing to know whether or not you are dealing with laminate, engineered wood, or solid wood planks you need to also know how the floor is installed.  Is it glued down to the subfloor, a floating floor, or is it up on screeds.  All this information together will tell you whether or not the floor is worth drying and how you should go about drying it.
