Three Steps to New Flooring after Water Damage
by Kristen White Blogger Home flooring is the foundation of any room both in appearance and functionality so when there is damage or a critical need for a replacement, this process needs to be reliable and accomplished quickly. The first step to replacing a wooden floor is deciding which kind of wood to use since there are several options to choose from at the showroom or on the website. Laminate, real wood or engineered flooring are the most common choices and each has its own pros and cons that must be considered by the client based on their current home flooring, budget and lifestyle. Real wood is the most expensive but also one of the most durable over time while laminate is generally very cost effective and can satisfactorily meet the needs of homeowners.If the damage was caused by an event that falls under the insurance policy then the sales rep may be able to help with working through the process to complete the paperwork. This allows the homeowner to schedule an insurance job wood flooring and decrease the amount of personal cost. One factor to consider is that water damage can quickly affect what is underneath the surface so the professional team needs to carefully evaluate and dry the area before putting the new flooring down. If left wet, the moisture will develop bacteria and mold which will eventually come through the new floor and will become a safety health hazard to pets and humans.
The last step to finishing off any flooring in the home is the bidding fitting around the edges to complete the intended look. This goes around the perimeter of the room and can be small or wide depending on what looks best and is recommended by the technicians as complimentary to the area. The purpose is to cover the gap between the skirting around the room and the new flooring just put down so the tech will measure and then present the homeowner with options that match the wood color and grain.
After installation, the floor and area is cleaned of any debris and other elements so that the room can be put back together with furniture and used again. It is important to work with a reliable company that has experience and a reputation for undertaking professional work on every project. A new floor should last for years but if done incorrectly, with shoddy materials or not laid properly, it will buckle, crack and damage quickly, creating a need to call someone out to repair the work. This is an unnecessary expense and is avoided by using the right company from the start.
