re: House Flooding Flooring Question

It’s not a huge deal to pop up the quarter round, and pull up the flooring until you don’t see anymore water. I flip houses for a living and actually had something similar happen at my personal house. Had one of my guys come over, pull everything up and we put some blowers on it. Will need new underlayment and possibly padding depending on what kind.

The most costly part of materials will be the flooring if that has to be replaced. If it is salvageable make sure whoever is pulling it up is careful not to break the grooves and isn’t dumb and gets all the pieces mixed up which will take more labor time when putting it all back together.

With all that said, depending on what could be kept and how much the deductible is and if it’s a covered loss, it could be easier and cheaper to just handle outside of insurance.
