Restoring Hardwood Floors

11/25/2019 (Permalink)

If you live in a home with hardwood flooring the thought of a water damage is terrifying. If the floor is dried quickly and properly a finished hardwood flooring that is cupped or crowned often returns to its original shape. Wood needs space to expand and contract with changes in humidity. If the wood does not have the room for expansion, the wood will buckle at the joints. The amount of warping or buckling is determined by the amount of moisture that is absorbed and the type of wood. Warping and buckling is permanent. Floors are generally replaced if any irregularities cannot be removed by sanding or refinishing. This is why water on hardwood flooring should be extracted as soon as possible.
