Safely Cleaning Up the Damage

Restoring the laminate flooring all depends on the level of water damage and how fast you act. It doesn’t take much time for the water to sink deep into the laminate flooring, so you must immediately contact a professional water damage restoration technician. Laminate flooring is comprised of several layers of resin, photographic paper on top and fiberboard bonded in connection with heat and pressure. The fiberboard material itself must be replaced in the event of a water damage situation. The fiberboard absorbs all the water damage, leaving your floor in shambles very quickly. You must spot the damaged planks before attempting to have them replaced. Laminate flooring begins to buckle right away.

Determine the cause of the water damage and have a pro replace the affected floor planks. Once you determine the damaged planks in the laminate flooring, you may then begin replacing them. You’ll need a color matching laminate flooring repair kit to replace the damaged planks to their original state of color. Make sure you use protectors beneath furniture to avoid getting scuff marks all over them during the restoration process. Keep towels or mats to keep water out of the room. The last thing you need is to get more water damage during the restoration process, so make sure that both sides of the doors are sealed properly. The chances are that you most likely don’t have access to industrial floor cleaning equipment, such as dehumidifiers or wet vacuums. Professional water damage restoration experts carry the required cleaning equipment to restore your laminate flooring and remove the excess water.
