Water Damaged Floor Repair in Ajax

A leak, flood, or even a spill can ruin your floors fast. You'll see boards warp, buckle, or stain. Ignoring it only makes the problem worse and can lead to mold. We get in, assess the damage, and give you a plan to fix it properly. The goal is a solid, safe floor again, without the runaround.

Our Straightforward Repair Process

When you call us, we don't mess around. The first step is to find the source of the water and make sure it's stopped. Then we assess the damage to your floor and, more importantly, the subfloor beneath it. A wet subfloor is a breeding ground for mold and will ruin any new flooring you put down. We use professional equipment to measure moisture levels and determine what needs to be removed.

Next, we carefully remove the damaged flooring and any compromised underlayment. The key here is proper drying. We set up fans and dehumidifiers to get the subfloor completely dry. This is the most critical step and can't be rushed. Once everything is dry, we treat the area to prevent mold growth and prepare the surface for the new flooring. We'll find the best possible match for your existing floor for a seamless repair.

Flooring Types and Water Damage

Different floors react to water in different ways. Hardwood will cup, crown, or buckle. If caught early, it can sometimes be saved by sanding and refinishing, but planks often need replacement. Laminate is less forgiving; its core is usually fiberboard that swells and falls apart when wet. It almost always requires replacement. Vinyl plank is more water-resistant, but water can still get underneath through the seams, trapping moisture and damaging the subfloor.

Don't Wait – The Problem Gets Worse

Water damage isn't just a cosmetic issue. Trapped moisture compromises the structural integrity of your subfloor and creates a perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can cause health problems. Acting quickly is the best way to minimize damage and cost. A small, manageable problem can become a major, expensive project if left alone. Give us a call, and we'll tell you exactly what you're dealing with and how to fix it for good. Contact us at (647) 898-7839.
