Water Damaged Floor Repair in Scugog

Discovering water damage on your indoor floors can be disheartening. Whether from a leaky pipe or a small flood, the immediate concern is how to fix it properly. A quick patch job often leads to bigger problems like mold or an unstable subfloor. We believe the only way to do it is the right way, with a careful, step-by-step process. Our focus is on meticulous workmanship that addresses the hidden damage, not just what you can see.

Our Methodical Approach to Floor Repair

A successful, long-lasting repair starts long before we lay a single new board. The first step is a thorough investigation. We use professional moisture meters to map out the full extent of the water's reach, both on the surface flooring and, more importantly, in the subfloor beneath. Identifying the scope of the problem allows us to create a precise plan, ensuring no moisture is left trapped to cause future issues like mold or rot.

Once we've defined the affected area, our attention turns to preparation. This is the most critical stage. We carefully remove the damaged flooring and begin the drying process using specialized equipment. The subfloor is then cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial solution as a preventative measure. We check that it is structurally sound and perfectly level; if it isn't, we correct it. A perfect repair can only be built on a perfect foundation.

Careful Installation and Finishing

With a dry and stable subfloor, we begin the repair. We go to great lengths to source materials that match your existing floor's type, grain, and color. For materials like solid hardwood, we allow the new wood to acclimate inside your home to prevent future gapping or buckling. Each piece is cut and fitted with precision to ensure tight seams and a uniform appearance.

The final step is what makes the repair disappear. Depending on the flooring type, this can involve sanding the new patch to be perfectly flush with the existing floor, applying custom-blended stain, and sealing it with a durable top coat that matches the original sheen. We don't rush the details because we know they make all the difference. For a detailed consultation, please call us at (647) 898-7839.
