Water Damaged Floor Repair in Georgetown

A burst pipe, leaky appliance, or minor flood can ruin your indoor floors fast. The key is acting quickly to prevent long-term problems like mould and subfloor rot. We’ve seen it all in Georgetown homes, so we don't mess around with temporary solutions. Our job is to assess the damage, give you a straight answer, and repair your floor so it's solid and secure for years to come.

Our Straightforward Repair Process

When you call us about a water-damaged floor, our first job is a thorough assessment. It’s not enough to just look at the surface. We need to know exactly how far the water traveled and which layers of your flooring system are affected. Using professional moisture meters, we map out the damp areas in your floorboards and, most importantly, the subfloor underneath. Ignoring a damp subfloor is a critical mistake that leads to mould, rot, and serious structural weakness. We don't take that chance. We identify the full scope of the problem before we start any work, so you know exactly what needs to be done.

Solutions for Different Indoor Floors

Hardwood Floors: Depending on the severity, solid hardwood can sometimes be saved. If we catch it early, careful drying techniques can prevent permanent warping. However, if boards have already cupped, crowned, or buckled, the only proper solution is removal. We'll carefully extract the damaged section and lace in new boards. Our focus is on sourcing a close match for the wood species, stain, and finish to make the repair as seamless as possible.

Laminate & Engineered Floors: These floors are less forgiving. Once their core layers get saturated, they swell, peel, and delaminate. They don't return to their original shape. For these, the repair is clear: we remove all affected planks, confirm the subfloor is 100% dry and structurally sound, and then install new material. We work hard to find a replacement that matches your existing floor.

The Subfloor is the Foundation

We can't say this enough: a lasting repair depends on a dry, solid subfloor. If your plywood or OSB subfloor has been soaked, it can lose its structural integrity. We won't just cover it up. If we find soft spots or lingering moisture, we'll tell you. The right way to fix it is to cut out the damaged sections and replace them. Laying a new floor over a compromised base is a recipe for failure. We build our repairs to last, and that starts from the foundation up. Get a proper fix by calling (647) 898-7839.
