Water Damaged Floor Repair in Innisfil

A leaking pipe, appliance failure, or a simple spill can cause serious damage to your indoor floors. Warped boards, soft spots, and musty smells are common signs that the problem is more than surface deep. Ignoring it only leads to bigger issues like mold and subfloor rot. We get straight to the problem, assess the damage, and provide a solid, no-nonsense repair plan to make your floor right again.

Our Repair Process: No Shortcuts

When we fix a water-damaged floor, we do it properly. The first step is a thorough assessment to see how far the water has spread and what materials are affected. We don't just look at the surface; we check the subfloor. Next, we remove all the damaged flooring. There's no point trying to save material that's swollen or delaminated—it will only fail later.

The most critical step is drying. We ensure the subfloor and surrounding area are completely dry before putting anything new down. Rushing this step is how you get mold. Once it's dry, we repair or replace any damaged sections of the subfloor to ensure a solid foundation. Only then do we install the new flooring, making sure it matches your existing floor as closely as possible for a clean finish.

Flooring Types We Handle

Different floors react to water differently. We have the right approach for each.

Hardwood: Solid hardwood can sometimes be saved if the damage is caught early. It may require sanding and refinishing after it's been properly dried. Engineered hardwood is less forgiving, as the layers can separate.

Laminate: Once laminate gets saturated, the core swells and it's ruined. The only correct fix for water-damaged laminate is to tear it out and replace it.

Vinyl Plank (LVP/LVT): While vinyl itself is waterproof, water can get underneath and saturate the subfloor. This creates a risk for mold. The planks must be removed, the subfloor dried, and the flooring re-installed.

Why Quick Action Matters

Water damage isn't just a cosmetic problem. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. Moisture trapped under your floorboards is a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can affect your home's air quality. It also compromises the structural integrity of your subfloor, leading to soft spots, sagging, and much more expensive repairs down the road. Addressing the problem immediately saves you money and protects your home. Don't wait for a small issue to become a major project. Call us for a straightforward assessment. Phone (647) 898-7839.
