House Flooded, what to do about wood floors
Posted on 6/23/20 at 4:43 pm

So pipe broke and two rooms with wood floors flooded.
Water is definitely under the wood panels. Any chance to salvage or are they going to have to come up.
Had about half and inch or more of water on them.

Get ready for a fight with your insurance company. Notify them immediately and document all damages. Good luck.

Dehumidifier on low

Let them dry for several weeks. Once they are through warping, sand them and restain.
ETA: As others said, immediately notify your insurance company.

Bring in a company like Serv Pro to tear up the floors and dry it out. Involve your insurance company.
Get an attorney to help you claim that cast iron pipes were installed under your house and are the culprit. You’ll be able to get an entire floor wide renovation

Call your insurance if you haven't already. Those floors have to come up

Just got home, wasn't a broken pipe, sink overran. Fml

FYI, water will soak into a lot of stuff, drywall will more than likely be wet behind baseboards. Without a moisture meter, you can't tell what is wet and dry. Call in the professionals.

Like the sink was left on and plugged up?
Posted on 6/23/20 at 5:12 pm to GREENHEAD22
Is the floor floating or glued down?
Posted on 6/23/20 at 5:21 pm to corym52
Yes and floored was glued.

Still a valid insurance claim. Call them now if you haven't yet. They'll send a mitigation company out to dry everything up.
Also, if you have continuous floors with no breaks, insurance should pay for all of them to be repaired/replaced.

Thanks for all the advice, made a claim and ServPro is here now. Floors coming up and well as the baseboards. New vanity in the bathroom as well.

After all is said and done, and levity about the situation exists, we can hear the story on how this happened.
