my line to my fridge has leked and get my floor boards all wet. Now they are worping is nearby any thing i can do to make them not worp any more. we are replacing the vein asap and have it turned of but can i save my floor?
Probably not. Laminate flooring is NOT a good choice for kitchens or baths. Since they are vitally sawdust and glue they don't hold up when wet.
Once the floor is completely dry the warp will cease but laminate flooring will never be the same. The floor should be replaced unless it is the snap-lock type of flooring and within is extra flooring at your home or at the store that will match. If a match is no longer available you might want to report a claim with your home insurance company as this is usu. a covered loss less your deductible. You might hold an issue with mold and bacteria as sea normally gets trapped lower than the moisture barrier either attached to the laminate strips itself or laid seperately. The wood subfloor never dries beneath this mosture barrier before mold become well established.
Keep the leaking cut for inspection if you file a claim with your insurance company as proof. You will want to replace only the laminate that is warp, some laminate is very moisture resistant I replaced my living room and bed room with laminate flooring, after I be finished I left a scrap piece outside for just about two weeks it had no effect on it.
Good Luck
Answers: I never hear of a way to fix it
I think you will necessitate to replace the damaged ones
Is it the glue together or the snap together?
