In fall 2008, approximately 5,000 square feet of Ipe floors was installed in a commercial building in a major metropolitan area. Shortly after the installation, cupping (concave surface) was noticed throughout the building.
When dealing with a commercial water damage scenario, getting the water out can be the least of your problems. Having great drying equipment and a well-trained staff will take care of the water, but the logistical and financial obstacles will most often be your biggest challenges.
