The Importance of Flooring Installation & Repair

Your home's flooring is more than just a surface; it's the foundation for every memory, occasion, and routine. 


Maintaining your home’s flooring isn’t just a sign of beauty, but it’s also critically important for your health and safety. 

Sagging, rotten, and damaged floors pose risks to your daily activities and well-being, and neglecting repairs can lead to costly issues in the future.

Here Are Six Common Causes of Floor Damage:

  1. Water leaks and flooding: Unidentified leaks, stormwater, and other lingering moisture can lead to floor buckling, soft spots, peeling, cracking, or lifting. 

  2. Pets: Sharp nails and urine can cause scratches and stains on your flooring over time.  

  3. Foot Traffic: Over time, you and your guests can track debris inside your home, leading to stains and wear on your floor's finish. In addition, shoes with hard soles can create friction and wear on the floor’s material. 

  4. Sunlight fading: UV radiation can gradually fade your floor's material; additionally, excessive heat can lead to warping and cracking. 

  5. Subfloor movement or settling: Over time, this can lead to sagging, bouncing, or uneven floors. 

  6. Heavy furniture and appliances: Be cautious when moving furniture and appliances to minimize scratching the floor.

Floor removal is an integral part of the installation process, often revealing the source of underlying rot. Here are five common culprits behind rotten subflooring:


  1. Moisture: Accumulation from leaking pipes, roof leaks, or crawl spaces.

  2. Poor Ventilation: Inadequate air circulation beneath floors promotes the growth of mold, mildew, or fungus.

  3. Inadequate Drainage: Poor drainage near the foundation can lead to rot and other structural issues.

  4. Construction Issues: Incorrect installation can result in improper drainage.

  5. Pests: Termites can create structural problems and contribute to rot.


Your floors endure daily wear and tear, but preventative maintenance, removal, and installation services can ensure they remain strong and stylish.
