Friends thinking about keeping their hardwood floors after flood

Contractor has been stalling on ripping them up, now the idea is being thrown out that they can just sand them down and refinish them. The house had water standing in it for at least 3 days.
Does this sound like it will work?

Wouldnt the floors buckle if it was standing for three days

They glued the living shite out of these floors, they claim no areas were buckling

My response was serious. The floors will not be good.

No sense in crying over it.

Initially my first thought was hell no, but can a contractor be that irresponsible that they'd talk them into this knowing it's not safe?

It will eventually buckle. No way that works. Sorry

If they want to live with a constant presence of mold. Sure keep them. If they don't want that, then pull them up. You can air the shite out of them all you want, there will be mold and moisture until you rip them up. No matter nailed, glued, or floating.

This. Contractor needs the boot.

Shite no. Those need to come out

Call Fourrier Construction he can rip them up with a riding machine. Did mine and it was the best decision we made.

Not sure the wood will every really be completely dry. Probably has a ton of mold under it at this point.

Seems like your friend should at least rip a section out, maybe in a closet, to see how it looks under it? I would be paranoid forever about mold though, if it was my house.

It had water under it. You will have mold.
They have to come up
