Oh no, a leak! It's a sinking feeling when you see your beautiful floors buckling or stained from water. Whether it's from a dishwasher mishap, a burst pipe, or a basement issue, water damage needs to be handled quickly and correctly. I'm your local Oshawa flooring guy, and I'm here to help you figure out the best way to fix it. We'll take a look together and find a solution that gets your home back to normal.

How We Tackle Your Water Damaged Floors

The first thing we'll do is figure out exactly how bad the damage is. Different types of flooring react to water in different ways. Hardwood can cup and warp, laminate can swell and peel apart at the seams, and water can get trapped under vinyl. We need to see how far the moisture has spread and what's happening underneath the surface. It's super important to make sure everything is completely dry before we even think about repairs. Trapped moisture is a recipe for mold, and nobody wants that.

We'll use moisture meters to get a clear picture and help you with a drying plan. Sometimes, this involves using fans or dehumidifiers to pull all that dampness out of the subfloor and the flooring itself. Rushing this step is the biggest mistake people make; a little patience here saves you a huge headache later on.

Repair or Replace? We'll Give You Straight Answers

Once everything is bone-dry, we can talk options. If you're lucky and we caught it early, we might be able to save your floor. For some solid hardwood floors, we can sometimes replace a few boards and then sand and refinish the whole area to match perfectly. It's a great way to preserve your original floor.

However, for things like laminate or engineered hardwood, a sectional repair often isn't possible, and the damaged area usually needs to be replaced. Sometimes, this is the best option for badly warped wood, too. We'll walk you through the pros and cons and help you choose the right material for the space, especially if it's a moisture-prone area like a basement. We're not a big, faceless company; we're your neighbours. Our goal is to find the right solution for you, not the most expensive one.
