Will water damage hardwood floors?

5/4/2018 (Permalink)

If you live in a home with hardwood floors, and have a water loss in your home, you could be looking at severe damage. 

Every situation is uniquely different. In some cases if it is detected quickly and there is access to the subfloor through a crawl space, the floors can be dried in place. 

However if the floors begin to buckle and pop out, it could be too late to restore in place. In that case the damaged wood, would have to be removed and the subfloor and surrounding area would need to be dried. Once the drying is complete, the floors can be replaced and the floors can be refinished to match.
