Can my water-damaged hardwood floor be saved?

It truly depends on the extent of the damage and how long the wood was wet. We perform a detailed moisture reading and structural check. Sometimes, we can save a portion by carefully replacing individual boards, while other times a full replacement is the only correct long-term solution. We'll give you an honest, detailed assessment.

How do you prevent mould from growing under the repaired floor?

This is our top priority. The key is completely drying the subfloor. We use specialized equipment to measure moisture levels and ensure the area is bone-dry before installing any new flooring. We also treat the area with an anti-microbial solution as a final, crucial step.

How long does a typical water damage repair take?

The timeline varies based on the size of the area and, most importantly, the drying time required for the subfloor. A small repair might take 2-3 days, while a larger project could take a week. We never rush the drying process, as that's the foundation of a lasting repair. We'll provide a clear, step-by-step schedule.

Our Methodical Repair Process

A successful water damage repair is all in the details. It's not about quick fixes; it's about a correct, lasting solution that protects your home. The first thing we do is a thorough moisture assessment. We use professional-grade meters to determine exactly how far the water has travelled and how saturated the subfloor and surrounding materials are. This step is critical and dictates our entire plan.

Once we have a clear picture, we carefully remove the damaged flooring. We take care not to damage any surrounding, unaffected areas. The next phase is the most important: drying. We set up specialized air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the subfloor. Rushing this step is a recipe for mould and structural problems down the road, so we monitor the process until moisture readings are at a safe level.

Fixing Your Specific Type of Floor

Different flooring materials react to water in unique ways. For hardwood, sometimes we can save it by carefully removing, drying, and reinstalling the planks, but often board replacement is necessary. With laminate and most vinyl plank, the core material is compromised once wet, meaning replacement is the only proper route. We take the time to source the best possible match for your existing floor, paying close attention to colour, grain, and plank size for a seamless result.

We believe in doing the job right, which means never covering up a problem. We ensure your subfloor is sound, clean, and perfectly dry before expertly installing your new flooring. For a detailed assessment of your water-damaged floors in Peterborough, please give us a call at (647) 898-7839.

"Rudy is amazing and hasn't let me down yet. We all know how hard it can be dealing with contractors these days. They promise the moon but don't deliver. With Rudy, things are very different. If he promises, he will deliver. I have gotten 3 projects done with Rudy. There were nominal delays but Rudy is very professional and communicative. The first one was hardwood for about 800 sqft, the second one was hardwood for 1000 sqft and the third one was over 1500 sqft plus stairs. There were some problems with the stairs and Rudy was out of the country for a long time. However, as soon as he came back, he came to my house and fixed it, no charge."

"Very fast efficient and cost effective company. I recommend them highly for flooring needs. Laminate in my case. Excellent communications, best ever: from their project manager to their operating team, we were exchanging messages frequently at 9 or 10 PM on a week end. If you hire them make sure to ask them to cover your walls: as they work fast you have to expect your walls to be dirty . My white walls showed signs of jeans and clothes passing through. Not a big deal to clean but still had to do it ."

"I had Rudy install new laminate floors and baseboards in my photography studio and him and his team were fantastic. They were punctual, stuck to their quote and helped me stay within budget. They left the place clean and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again Rudy!!"
