Water Damage in Your Hardwood Flooring

Water Damage in Your Hardwood Flooring
Water is the mortal enemy of your hardwood flooring.

Water is the mortal enemy of your hardwood flooring. Since
wood is a naturally porous material, water and moisture can seep in and cause
all kinds of problems. Water damage can completely ruin that gorgeous hardwood
of yours, so you must be vigilant in preventing it! Here is some more
information about preventing water damage in your hardwood flooring.

Prevention Now Means Fewer Costly Repairs Later On

The purpose of the finish on your hardwood flooring is to protect
it from all types of damage, such as water and dirt. Even the most durable
floor finishes aren’t totally waterproof, but maintaining your finish is the
best way to keep water off the wood. Use rugs to protect the finish in high
traffic areas. You should also make sure you’re cleaning your hardwood regularly
with a hardwood flooring cleaner, such as Bona, and microfiber mop. You can
find Bona hardwood floor cleaning products right here at Jason Brown Wood
Floors!

Identifying Water Damage

Water damage in hardwood flooring happens over time. That’s
why all spills should be cleaned up immediately after they happen. The longer
the water sits on the wood, the more damaged it gets. Cupping and crowning of
the planks are two of the earliest signs. You may also notice a small hump as
the water is absorbed into the wood. Another sign of water damage is dark
staining around the edges of the planks, but this typically only occurs when
there is a consistent source of water.
