Can water-damaged hardwood floors be repaired?

Yes! Water-damaged hardwood floors can be repaired, if there is a little damage. However, if the extent of the damage is more, it requires a replacement. So, before making a decision, we will perform a thorough assessment of the damage. If the water exposure is minimal, with no extensive warping, cupping, or mold growth, then repairs are feasible. However, if the damage is severe, such as extensive warping or mold infestation, replacement may be the only solution. To repair minor water damage, our professionals will use specialized equipment like dehumidifiers and fans to quickly dry the affected area. Once the area is dry, we perform sanding to help remove any stains or surface damage. After sanding, refinishing the floor is essential to restore its appearance and protect it from future damage. In cases of severe water damage that has affected the structural integrity of the wood, sections of the hardwood may need to be replaced to ensure the floor’s stability and safety.
