Dry the floor & Replace Laminate

2/12/2021 (Permalink)

Dry the floor naturally and slowly with fans and plenty of airflow through the space. Open windows and doors (unless the outdoor air is more humid than the indoor air), and run fans to move air through the space. For example, place a box fan in a large window or door opening so the fan blows out, then open windows and/or doors on the opposite side of the space to allow fresh air in. This provides cross-ventilation to move the moisture out.

Laminate flooring can have a similar appearance to solid hardwood or engineered hardwood, but it is not the same material. The majority of a laminate flooring plank is made with wood pulp, much like particleboard or MDF medium-density fiberboard). This material is highly vulnerable to water damage and swells when it gets soaked, ruining the integrity of the material. Most laminate flooring that is water-damaged must be replaced.
