Hardwood Floor Repair

This is a small bedroom repair of some of the worst cupping and shrinking I have ever seen. The cause of this type of damage is from years of chemical exposure. Specifically, this room was used as a wood shop and wood stripper was spilled over the floor for a very long time.

  • It's the best time to make some plans for the future and it is
    time to be happy. I have read this post and if I
    could I want to suggest you some interesting things or tips.
    Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article.
    I want to read even more things about it!

  • With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of
    plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I've
    either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a
    lot of it is popping it up all over the web without
    my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help reduce
    content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.

  • Did you have the the floors refinished prior to moving in? If so and it still looks burned, you may have to do some repairs. Does the entire floor looked burned?

  • i ve had my floors refinished, and no not the ENTIRE floor is burned. some parts are brown (normal) and some parts are black (burned)

  • Question: I had a roof leak on my 2.25" oak strip. The damaged boards have lifted at the edges. Assuming that is cupping? Water also came in under the front door (unusually high wind) rippling the wood there. Also had a water leak at the fridge. 3 damaged areas - total floor is area is about 2K sq ft. Is there anyway to repair these areas? Would entire floor need to be sanded and refinished? Floor is 13 years old. Thanks.

  • Yes, this is cupping caused by the water. The damaged areas, if severe, may need to be torn out and toothed back in. There should not be a need to tear out all of the floor. As for refinishing, I would recommend having the entire floor sanded if there are no breaks in the floor. The newly sanded would look very different than the new after 13 years should you elect to only sand part. This may be an insurance claim, so check with a local "Paul Davis Restoration" company or similar restoration Co.
