Water Damaged Floor Repair in Newmarket

Seeing water damage on your indoor floors can be incredibly stressful. Whether it's from a leaky pipe, an appliance failure, or a spill that went unnoticed, the result is often warped boards or staining. As a flooring specialist right here in Newmarket, I understand the urgency and the need for absolute precision. We approach every repair with a focus on not just fixing the visible damage, but ensuring the long-term health of your entire floor. It's about restoring your home with care, one board at a time.

Our Detailed Water Damage Repair Process

A successful floor repair starts long before a single tool is used. We begin with a thorough, meticulous inspection. This isn't just a quick glance; we use professional moisture meters to accurately map the extent of the water intrusion, both on the surface and within the subfloor. Identifying and stopping the source of the water is the absolute first priority. We then carefully remove the damaged sections, assessing the condition of the subfloor beneath. If the subfloor is compromised, it must be properly dried and repaired before any new flooring is installed. This foundational step is critical and one we never rush.

Handling Hardwood, Laminate, and Vinyl

Each type of flooring reacts to water differently and requires a specific approach. For solid or engineered hardwood, we can often save boards by carefully drying them, but replacement is sometimes necessary for severe warping or buckling. We take painstaking care to source replacement planks that match your existing floor's species, grade, and finish, ensuring a near-invisible repair. For laminate and vinyl plank flooring, the core materials often swell and delaminate, meaning replacement of the affected area is the only correct solution. Our focus here is on creating a perfectly flat and dry subfloor and then seamlessly integrating the new planks with the old, ensuring all locking mechanisms are perfectly engaged.

The Difference is in the Details

Why do we obsess over the small things? Because with water damage, overlooking a small detail can lead to big problems later on, like mold growth or structural decay in your subfloor. A patch job might look fine for a few weeks, but our goal is a permanent solution that restores the beauty and safety of your home. From ensuring new hardwood is properly acclimated to your home's environment before installation to the final, flawless application of finish, we treat your floor as if it were our own.
