Replacing Damaged Hardwood Floors

Published on Monday, December 9th, 2019

REPLACING DAMAGED HARDWOOD FLOORS

Arizona weather is lots of sunshine and minimal concern for natural disasters including great amounts of moisture. But, monsoon season can hit us with torrential downpours. If we aren’t prepared, the rain could come in and ruin certain types of flooring, in particular, hardwood. Often, if only one area is damaged, it’s easy to make small repairs by simply replacing your damaged hardwood floors.

If you find yourself negatively affected by Arizona’s monsoon season, your hardwood floors and large amounts of rainwater will not mix. Even though Arizona has few problems with flooding and large amounts of water, during our rainy season, the rain and wind are unpredictable. So, what does flooding, even in small amounts, do to your hardwood? It can warp, bubble or even grow mold that can be harmful to you and your family.

WATER DAMAGE

Fortunately, hardwood is easy to replace, rebuff, and refinish. If you do find yourself with excess water, here is what to do:

Remove excess water

You want to be able to dry out the affected area as soon as possible. Opening doors and windows to use Arizona’s sunshine to aid in the drying process is the best option.

Using a mop or towels to pick up excess water can speed up the drying process. If the water damage is extensive, it may not just be a topic fix, the use of a wet vac can be handy in these situations as well.

Preserve your hardwood floor

Hardwood floors have a reputation for longevity. However, it’s not just about being functional to determine the longevity of the flooring, it’s about the look as well. The goal for many is to preserve the look of hardwood to look as vibrant and decorative as the day it was installed.

  • Clean your floors regularly. It’s important to note here that moisture is not hardwood’s friend. Dry mops and vacuums with hardwood floor safe bristles will prevent sand from scratching the surface of your hardwood. Additionally, being vigilant when it comes to cleaning up spills will protect your flooring from warping or further damage.
  • Use floor mats and furniture protectors. Floor mats at entrances of your home can protect your flooring from sand and other debris that can cause scratching. Also, protective pads or perhaps rugs underneath furniture will prevent scratches or dents.
  • Pets. Clipped nails are a savior for your floors in addition to house training. Making sure that your floors are always clean of excess moisture, whether it be from the water bowl or a puppy accident, will prevent your floors from irreparable damage.
  • Be aware of footwear. High heels can leave dents in your flooring even if the woman is under 100 pounds. Be aware of the footwear worn on your hardwood flooring and you will prevent any dents from occurring.

Fortunately, hardwood floors are easy to rebuff and refinish. If dents do occur, it’s fairly easy to repair damaged hardwood floors.
