He continues to say, “there are a variety of problems that can affect the beauty and life of hard wood floors and once these are isolated they can be handled properly so that the hard wood lasts for years the way it should”. Different types of hard wood floor damage can often times be dealt with through hard wood floor restorations. It is important that residents be educated on it. In this article we want to discuss what is called Endlifting, Face-Checking and Flooded Floors to better educate the homeowners that want to keep their hard wood floors beautiful and long lasting.

Endlifting
This is where the ends of engineered wood flooring appear raised. Too much moisture during installation is the cause of this. The improper spacing of staples or cleats can also cause this. Another thing that can cause this is when adhesive is not drying due to excessive slab moisture. This can also happen due to improper floor maintenance, a manufacturing error. “This can also occur do to using the wrong adhesive or even something as basic as using the wrong trowel during the installation process,” says Allman. “The affected areas must be repaired,” he continues.

Face-Checking
This is when there are long cracks in the veneer that run along the length of the board in engineered flooring. The cause of this can typically occur when the flooring that is manufactured is incompatible with the environment it is installed in. The cure is to correct the humidity levels of the environment and follow proper maintenance procedures. You can fill gaps as necessary with sand or fill and refinish the floors as necessary. This fix may not restore the floor to its original look.

Flooded Floors
This is standing water on the wood floor. The cure is to remove the source of the water intrusion and dry the floor as quickly as possible. Elevate the temperature and dehumidify the space. Increase the air flow in the space using fans as necessary. Do not repair the floor until moisture meter readings on the top and bottom of the boards and sub-floor are at normal levels. When the flooring is stabilized, determine the damage. If the flooring has loosened from the sub-floor, repair the necessary areas or the entire floor. If the floor is cupped, sand it flat, fill if necessary and abrade-screen and recoat. If the sub-floor is plywood over concrete, it is unlikely that the plywood and concrete sub-floor will dry out in a reasonable time. Fully removing the floor down to concrete is usually best in order to allow the slab to dry. In some cases, full or partial removal of the floor will accelerate the drying time. In cases where you have determined that the flooring system has not returned to normal levels, do not succumb to pressure from involved parties for a quick fix.
