The Challenging Condition of Water-Damaged Laminate Flooring 

When we arrived at the homeowner’s property, it was clear that the water damage was significant. The laminate flooring in the entrance hallway and living room was visibly misshaped and discolored.

How We Tackled the Water Damage Flooring Chaos


We immediately started a thorough assessment to determine the extent of the damage. Our moisture meters revealed that there was water trapped underneath the laminate flooring, which we had to tackle to prevent further damage and potential mold growth. Here are the steps we took to make sure everything was done perfectly. 


Removing the Damaged Flooring


Our first step was to remove the damaged laminate flooring. We carefully took up the affected sections and we made sure we didn’t cause any additional damage to the subfloor. As we removed the laminate, we found a significant amount of water that had pooled underneath. 


Drying and Dehumidification


Next, we moved on to the drying process. We used industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the subfloor and the affected areas thoroughly. This step was very important because any remaining moisture could lead to mold growth or further damage. We were monitoring the moisture levels to make sure the area was completely dry before moving on to the next step.


Sanitizing and Mold Prevention


After we successfully completed the drying process, our next steps focused on sanitizing the affected areas. The key steps of this process were: 


  • Application of Sanitizing Solutions: We applied specialized cleaning solutions to sanitize the affected areas. This step was necessary to protect the health and safety of the homeowner and their family.


  • Treating the Subfloor and Surroundings: Our team carefully treated the subfloor and surrounding structures to eliminate any lingering mold spores. This proactive approach made sure that the environment was clean and mold-free again.


Installing New Flooring


Once the area was dry and sanitized, we began the installation of new laminate flooring. We worked with the homeowner to choose a high-quality laminate that matched the original design and aesthetics of the home. Our team installed the new flooring with precision, making sure everything looked seamless. 


The Restoration of the Laminate Flooring Was Completed Successfully


After the installation was complete, we did a final inspection to make sure everything was perfect. We checked for any signs of moisture and made sure the new flooring was installed correctly. The homeowner was delighted with the results, and we were happy to restore their home to its original beauty.
