6 Signs Your Floor Needs a Repair
Even the best flooring is prone to wear and tear over time.
The following are telltale signs that your floor needs a repair.
1. Your Floor Squeaks – Floors should never be squeaky and creaky. If your floor creaks or makes an unusual sound or displacement when you walk on them, it is a sign that your floorboards may be loose and need to be inspected by a professional. Noisy floors can be due to either poor installation or normal wear.
2. Your Floor Is Raised – Any raised or uneven surface on your floor, carpet or hardwood, is a sign of a problem. It indicates that the underlying panel or subsurface needs attention. Not only is an uneven surface uncomfortable to walk on, it could cause more loose joints, leading to a bouncy, spongy, or springy floor.
3. Your Floor Has a Foul Odor – If you notice a constant musty or unpleasant odor coming from your floor, it is a sign that there is a problem. This is commonly caused by water damage or pet urine which leads to growing mold underneath your floor. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it could also lead to health problems and further rot. Call a professional immediately if you notice this.
4. Your Ceiling Is Leaking – If you live in a multi-story or apartment, a leaking ceiling in the basement is usually a sign of a problem in the floor upstairs. Don’t ignore basement leaks. It could lead to further more expensive damages to both the floor and ceiling. Call for inspection and repair.
5. Your Floor Is Old – Carpet may last up to 10 years, hardwood typically lasts up to 20 years before it requires professional service. With professional care, an authentic hardwood floor installation can last up to a century. If you don’t know the age of your floor or you don’t have a maintenance schedule, we can help. A professional inspection provides an age estimate and maintenance plan to maximize the life of your floor.
6. Your Floor Has Cracks – Cracks are never a good sign. Even the tiniest cracks can allow water to seep through causing mold or mildew growth. Cracks also provide a habitat for termites and other insects. It’s important to call a floor installation expert immediately to inspect and fix before you find yourself dealing with unpleasant odors, allergies, infections, and so on. Cracks could be repaired or may require flooring replacement depending on the extent of the damage.
10 Signs Your Floor Needs a Replacement
Nothing lasts forever, not even your floor. Check for these top ten signs that may indicate it’s time for new floor installation in your home.
1. Wear and Tear – Floor scratches and stains are common and unavoidable, especially if you have pets or children. But when these scratches get deep or turn into cracks, and the stains are irremovable and extensive, it’s time to consider replacing your floor. Deep scratches and cracks are vulnerable to water damage and pest infestation while extensive stains make for unpleasant aesthetics.
2. Water Damage – If your floor has been subject to prolonged exposure to moisture, it could cause dark stains, soft spots, mold, bulging, or warping. These signs typically indicate permanent damage to your floor and it’s best to call for inspection immediately.
3. Noisy Flooring – Any audible sounds from your floor are a sign of a problem. Some noisy floors can be fixed with a simple repair, but other times the damage is more extensive. An improper floor installation, settling of foundations, old age, or subfloor damage may require a full-scale installation.
4. Refinished Too Many Times – Refinishing hardwood floors is a good maintenance technique, but it can be overdone. Once you start to see the nail heads, the wood is thinner and more vulnerable to cracks or damage. At this point, your floor has been sanded too many times and will need to be replaced.
5. Floor Discoloration – If you have vinyl planks, laminate, porcelain tile, hardwood floor, or carpet, it can discolor over time. In many cases, a deep clean should be able to take care of this but when the discoloration points to deeper issues it is cause for concern.
For example, mold can discolor your flooring, cause a health hazard, and requires replacement. If discoloration reoccurs shortly after you’ve cleaned your floor, or doesn’t clear up completely it may be time to consider new flooring installation.
6. Old Age – Most floors have a very long lifespan, but that doesn’t mean they last forever. If you aren’t sure how old your flooring is, you can have our professional contractors inspect the floor and help you assess the age and make recommendations.
7. Mold and Mildew – Mold and mildew growth are commonly caused by water damage or pet urine. If you notice mold and mildew growth or foul odors, your subfloor needs thorough inspection and cleaning. If the problem persists after you have cleaned your floor, call a professional. Do not try to mask the smell with a candle or air freshener as it may indicate a larger issue.
8. Termite Attacks – If your floor is being attacked by termites you may find sand grain piles or mud tubes in certain areas of the home. These signs are a serious problem and should not be taken for granted. Even after the termite fumigation process, you still need a professional to assess the extent of damage to the flooring and subfloor. If the damage has already been significant, you need a replacement to protect the structural integrity of your home.
9. Allergies – If you are experiencing allergies but can’t seem to identify the source, it could be coming from your carpet. Pollen, dust, mold, or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are common causes of household allergies and can be alleviated by installing vinyl, laminate, hardwood, or tile.
10. Outdated Style – It’s not always the case that your floor must have any visible or extensive damage before you replace it. Sometimes, you just want a new look or floor type to support your family’s lifestyle.
Benefits of Timely Floor Repair and Replacement
Of course, new floor installation looks beautiful, but it can also provide safety to your family and protect the integrity of your home in Philadelphia, PA.
Safety – Flooring installation eliminates and prevents mold, pollen, or other particles which are detrimental to you and your family’s health. Replacing the flooring also ensures that cracks and uneven surfaces are repaired on time to avoid any form of accidents and injuries.
Longevity – New flooring installation increases the lifespan of your home and keeps things current. Classic flooring, like authentic hardwood, can last up to 100 years if maintained properly.
Improves Aesthetics – A well-maintained floor improves your home value and provides a beautiful look and fresh feeling in your space.
Saves Money – Timely repair and routine maintenance ensure that damage signs are spotted and fixed early so that they do not escalate into worse and more expensive damages.
Types of Floors We Install and Repair
Our expert team provides floor installation and repair services in a variety of homes using today’s most popular materials in Philadelphia, PA.
- Luxury Vinyl Planks – This is a relative newcomer in the flooring market. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is a much thicker material that is fabricated in long planks with a modified tongue-and-groove connection system that snaps together, usually called click-lock. It is about five times thicker than original sheet vinyl. This popular choice is durable, affordable, completely resistant to moisture, quiet, and easy to install in a wide range of colors and designs.
- Hardwood – Natural hardwood floor material has been used for centuries and offers a lot of amazing benefits. Today’s hardwood floors can be solid or engineered. Hardwood is durable, adds value to the home, and offers a classic beauty. Additional finishes on hardwood can make it both stain and scratch-resistant.
- Laminate – This is a less expensive material that often mimics tile or hardwood. Laminate is a common flooring material in most homes using the same click-lock system as luxury vinyl planks for a quick and easy install.
- Porcelain Tile – Although ceramic tiles are highly durable, porcelain is harder, stronger, and more water-resistant. This superior strength is achieved by firing clays with finer particles at very high temperatures creating a harder and less porous (crystalline) surface. These advanced features give porcelain tile several benefits.
