Wood - Liquid Issues
Q:
What effect does liquid have on a hardwood floor?
A:
It depends on the amount of time the liquid remains in contact with your floor. If you spill a soft drink or cup of coffee, clean it up quickly and it won't have an adverse effect. If you have a leaky flowerpot that drips in one spot over a week, you will see a problem. Damaged hardwood flooring loses its smooth finish and feels, instead, rough, rippled, or warped. If this happens, consult a professional.
Previous Question: The area I live in experienced a long period of rain and now my hardwood floor in my basement is wet, but I can’t find any leaks in the foundation. Any suggestions?
