Water Damaged Floor Repair in Markham

Seeing a puddle on your beautiful indoor floor from a leaky appliance or pipe is a sinking feeling. Water doesn't just stain the surface; it seeps into the seams, under the boards, and into the subfloor, causing unseen problems. A quick patch-up job often traps this moisture, leading to bigger issues down the line. We believe a proper repair requires patience and an obsessive eye for detail, ensuring the problem is solved completely, not just covered up. Your Markham home deserves a floor that's restored with care and precision.

Our Detailed Water Damage Repair Process

When we arrive, our first step isn't repair—it's a thorough investigation. We use specialized moisture meters to map the full extent of the water's travel, both on the surface and within the subfloor. We identify the type of damage, whether it's cupping (edges of boards are raised), buckling (boards lifting from the subfloor), or staining. Only after we have a complete picture do we formulate a precise plan. This involves carefully removing only the damaged boards, saving as much of your original floor as possible. The entire affected area, including the subfloor, is then professionally dried using high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers. This step is critical and cannot be rushed.

Why a Quick Fix Isn't the Answer

Covering up damp flooring is a recipe for disaster. Trapped moisture will inevitably lead to mould and mildew growth, which can affect your home's air quality. It will also cause the wood or composite material to slowly rot from below, compromising the structural integrity of your floor and leading to much more expensive repairs later. A repair that looks good for a week isn't our standard. We focus on a repair that is structurally sound and lasts for years, protecting your investment and your family's health. We take the time to do it right because we know the consequences of cutting corners.

Flooring Types We Meticulously Restore

Our careful approach is adapted for different types of indoor flooring. For solid hardwood, we focus on matching the species, plank width, and grain pattern before custom staining to get an exact colour match. With engineered hardwood, we pay close attention to the thickness of the top veneer to see if sanding and refinishing is an option. For laminate and luxury vinyl plank, a full board replacement is often necessary, and our priority is sourcing an exact product match for a seamless look. No matter the material, our commitment to a flawless, detailed finish remains the same. If you need a careful, professional repair, give us a call at (647) 898-7839.
