Signs that you need to repair Your Hardwood Flooring
If you observe your hardwood floors buckling, warping, curling or coming up from
the subfloor, you’ll notice signs that will suggest when you need some repairs.
Below are some of these signs.
1. Water Damage
Water is among the main causes of damaged hardwood floors. If you notice
stagnant water on your floor after a leak, the first step is drying the water
as fast as possible. Our company has specialized water drying equipment. We use
drying fans and wet vacuums to dry the water on your floor as quickly as
possible. If you did not notice the water damage early enough, you could still
contact us to assess how severe the damage is. In the worst scenario, your wood
may start warping or buckling. For less severe damage, your wood will have dark
stains.
2. Extensive Scratches
Scratches are the norm on hardwood floors, but too many scratches are not
appealing. If your hardwood floor has a lot of scratches that span over a large
area, you may need our hardwood repair services. If you notice scratches that
surpass the stain on the wood, you should consider calling us for refinishing
services immediately. The stain, sealer and finish are meant to protect your
hardwood floor from water. If a scratch damages the stain allowing a pathway
into the wood, small amounts of water will seep into the wood and cause damage.
3. Large Chips and Gouges
Apart from scratches, your hardwood floor can also have chips and gouges. These
damages can be caused by kids, movers, or pets. These damages need immediate
attention because a chip or a deep gouge in your hardwood floors will allow water
into the wood. The gouges can also splinter and hurt your family members and
pets. So, it’s important to replace the damaged pieces of wood immediately. You
can use your leftover wood pieces to replace the wood around the damaged area.
4. Discoloration
Unfortunately, most homeowners think that discoloration is caused by aging.
Unfortunately, this is a hint that your wood floors finish has been damaged and
you need to repair them immediately. The gray discoloration is caused by
wearing off the polyurethane protection, which allows water to seep into the
wood. When your hardwood floor absorbs water, oxidation takes place, which
turns the wood to gray. As soon as you notice gray discoloration on your
floors, you can contact our experts, and we will make the floors look like new
again.
5. Massive Staining
You cannot avoid stains on your floors, especially if you have kids and pets in your house.
