Water Damaged Floor Repair in Barrie

Discovering water damage on your indoor floors can be incredibly stressful. Whether it's from a slow leak or a sudden spill, the effects can be devastating to your home's structure and appearance. At our core, we believe the only way to fix it is the right way, with an obsessive focus on the details. We don't just patch the problem; we meticulously diagnose the full extent of the damage, from the surface down to the subfloor, ensuring a complete and permanent solution. Your peace of mind is our primary goal.

Our Meticulous Repair Process

A successful water damage repair is all about the process. We don't rush. First, we perform a comprehensive inspection using sensitive moisture meters to map out the entire affected area, including parts that look fine to the naked eye. We then carefully remove only the damaged flooring and underlayment. The most critical step is next: we ensure the subfloor is 100% dry. This might involve using specialized drying equipment, but it's a step we absolutely will not skip, as it's the only way to prevent mould.

Once we have a perfectly dry and sound subfloor, we begin the repair. We source the best possible match for your existing flooring, whether it's hardwood, laminate, or vinyl plank. Each piece is installed with precision, ensuring tight seams and a level surface. We pay close attention to the small details that make a repair invisible, integrating the new section so it looks like it was always there.

Special Care for Different Indoor Floors

Every type of flooring reacts to water differently, and each requires a specific, careful approach. For hardwood, we look for cupping or crowning and determine if boards can be saved through careful drying and refinishing, or if they need to be replaced. With laminate, the core is susceptible to swelling, which is often irreversible, meaning careful replacement is key. For luxury vinyl, water can seep underneath and affect the adhesive and subfloor, so we ensure the foundation is perfectly clean and dry before reinstalling. We understand these nuances and apply the correct technique for a lasting fix.
