One way that we can restore flooring and eliminate the need for replacing it is through the use of the floor mat system. This system utilizes a strong suction by use of mats, which are attached to a vacuum with hoses, allowing the vacuum to draw out moisture from underneath the floor. The water  becomes vapor and is released into the air. Finally, its time for the dehumidifier, which draws the vapor out of the air, turns it into water and drains it out of the room.
