Can my water-damaged hardwood floor be saved?

It depends entirely on the extent of the damage. If boards are only slightly cupped, they can often be saved after they've completely dried. However, if they are buckled or show signs of mould, replacement of the affected area is the only correct solution.

How do you prevent mould after a water leak?

The key is thoroughness. We completely remove all affected flooring and underlayment. We then use specialized equipment to ensure the subfloor is 100% dry before we even consider installing new flooring. Properly drying the structure is the best prevention.

How long does a water damage floor repair take?

This varies. A small repair might take a few days, but a larger project requiring extensive subfloor drying can take longer. We don't rush the drying process, as it's the most critical part. We'll provide a clear, realistic timeline after our initial inspection. Give us a call at (647) 898-7839.

Water Damaged Floor Repair

Our Step-by-Step Approach to Floor Repair

When water affects your flooring, a hasty job just won't do. It leads to bigger problems down the road. That's why we follow a very specific, detailed process. First, we conduct a thorough moisture inspection using professional meters to map out the exact scope of the damage—what you can see and what you can't. We then carefully remove the damaged flooring and any compromised underlayment. This step is critical to prevent any potential for mould growth.

Next comes the most important phase: drying and preparing the subfloor. We ensure it's structurally sound and completely dry before proceeding. Rushing this step is a mistake we never make. Once the subfloor is ready, we meticulously install the new flooring. For repairs, this means painstakingly sourcing materials that match your existing floor and lacing them in for a seamless transition. We pay close attention to every cut, every board, and every detail to ensure the final result is flawless. We treat your home with the care it deserves.

Flooring Types We Carefully Restore

Different floors react to water in different ways, and each requires a specific technique. We have detailed experience with the most common indoor flooring materials in Clarington homes:

Hardwood: We assess if boards can be saved through drying and refinishing or if they require careful replacement.
Laminate: Since laminate's core is often particleboard, it usually swells and needs replacement. We ensure a perfect match with the unaffected areas.
Vinyl Plank: While often water-resistant, water can seep through the seams and get trapped underneath. We check the subfloor and replace planks as needed.

If you're dealing with the aftermath of a leak, don't wait. Call us at (647) 898-7839 for a proper assessment.

★★★★

"Rudy and his assistant, Mo, worked very hard to complete our stair project on time and on budget. They did not complain or come back to us with updated quotes or other issues. We are very pleased with the final result and have received many compliments on our new staircase. To add a touch of class, we offered them water from our garage fridge and to our surprise, they replaced the water they used at the end of the week. It was a very nice (but unnecessary) thing to do. Our only issue in the end was that some of the nails were still visible on the quarter round used to finish the trim work and there were a few blemishes on the stairs we had to touch up. These were very minor and ultimately, we couldn't be happier with the completed project. We would definitely recommend Rudy and his Team."

"Rudy and his team were great to work with. They are efficient, accommodating, fair in price and courteous. They supplied and installed hardwood flooring throughout our entire house, refinished our railings and replaced the pickets. We thought the step-down in our sunken living room would be difficult to fix and complete, but Rudy did a beautiful job and we couldn't be happier!"
