How to deal with laminate flooring soaked in water, what to do if laminate flooring soaked in water

Here's how to deal with it:1. If the soaking of the composite floor is not very serious, then you can use absorbent tools to absorb the moisture on the surface of the composite floor, such as dry rags, sponges, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, etc. If you use a hair dryer, use cold air to prevent the floor from deforming.

2. If the soaking situation of the composite floor is more serious, then you can't deal with it, and you must contact professional after-sales personnel to deal with it. And different laminate flooring has different repair methods, so special attention should be paid to.

3. If you need to replace the floor locally, you should contact the workers to come to the door to communicate with the specific situation of the floor, and then choose the floor of the same model and the same suit color for paving, so as not to affect the aesthetic effect of the floor.

Tip 1: Remove the baseboard.

Application: Laminate flooring soaked in water.

Improvement plan: Whether it is a large area of water or a small area of water, it is not recommended to pry up the laminate floor to dry, which is easy to cause damage to the laminate floor, and is likely to cause serious consequences that cannot be used again. It is best to drain the surface water of the floor quickly, and then remove the baseboard of the floor, expose the expansion joint, and dissipate the water vapor by the expansion joint, but according to the size of the water intake, it usually takes about seven to fifteen days to dry.

Tip 2: Pry up the wooden floor and stack it in a "well" shape to dry.

Application: The floor is pried up after soaking in water.

Improvement solution: For soaked floors, it is important to dry in the shade while trying to keep the floor as deformed as possible. After the surface water of the floor can be wiped dry, it should be placed in the shape of "well" superposition, and the weight generated by its stacking can be used to prevent deformation, and the reverse side of the floor should be paid attention to when placing it to prevent the surface from drying out due to rapid drying, and at the same time, it should not be exposed to the sun, it should be placed in a ventilated place to dry, and under normal circumstances, it can be used again for solid wood and multi-layer solid wood with good quality.

In addition, in the event of water leakage, the floor after-sales service office should be notified as soon as possible, and the staff will provide the best solution to the owner based on the floor's own situation.

Trick 3: Leak water on one side and pry up ventilation on both sides.

Applicable situation: add keel, small area soaked in water solid wood floor.

Improvement plan: If the water ingress in a small area is found in time, the ground can be cleaned, the board can be pried up, and the wet floor can be dried and reinstalled; If the water inflow is slightly large, not only should the board at the leakage be pried up, but also the opposite board should be pried up along the direction of the keel arrangement, so that the internal air circulation can take away the moisture. If you can't determine the size of the incoming water, it is best to pry up the board in turn according to the flow direction of the inlet water to check the humidity situation to be foolproof.

Applicable situation: Solid wood flooring with water in a small area by direct paving.

Improvement plan: If the water ingress phenomenon is detected in time in a very short time, the water vapor can be sucked out with a high-power vacuum cleaner. However, if there is a large area of water, it is necessary to pry up all the floors and dry them in the shade according to the second plan.

At the same time, if the indoor humidity is large, if there is a condition, a dehumidifier can be installed indoors, and the indoor moisture can be drained in a short time, but this operation scheme needs to have floor dryness identification technology.

All kinds of indoor stadiums are paved with professional stadium wood flooring materials. The main material of the stadium wood floor is solid wood. Under the long-term high-load operation of the stadium wooden floor in the later stage, it is inevitable that it will encounter water if it is negligent for a while, how to deal with this situation?

How to deal with the wooden floor of the stadium when it encounters water:

1. Emergency treatment of water staining on the wooden floor of the stadium.

In daily life, it is common to accidentally spill water on the floor. Many people think that drying right away with an electric fan or air conditioner is the most effective method. In fact, there is no need to be too nervous, as long as the amount of water is not large and the time is short, the water will not seep into the floor.

At this time, you only need to wipe the water dry with a dry cloth.

2. Emergency treatment of mold on the wooden floor of the stadium.

If you find a small amount of mildew on the surface of the floor, you can mix it with water with warm bleach at a dilution ratio of 1:3 and wipe it with a soft rag. Note that the concentration of bleach should not be too high, too high a concentration will damage the waxing of the floor surface.

If there is mildew inside the local floor, it is necessary to remove the moldy floor immediately and replace it with a new floor, so as to prevent mold from infecting other intact floors and causing large-scale mildew.

3. Emergency treatment of water immersion on the wooden floor of the stadium.

If the floor is accidentally soaked in water, it can also be treated urgently by simple methods to avoid mildew on the floor. For wood floors that are not seriously soaked in water, the moisture on the surface can be absorbed in a short time, and then the water vapor can be sucked away by vacuum cleaners in the splicing gaps of the floor. If the area is small, you can use a hair dryer to dry the cracks of the floor with cold air.

If the flooding area is large, the water on the surface of the floor can be removed and the refrigeration of the air conditioner can be used to dehumidify. Close the doors and windows of the room, adjust the air conditioner to the lowest temperature, and adjust the air conditioning refrigeration time according to the actual situation, so that the floor can dry out in about a day.

4. Moisture-proof measures for the wooden floor of the stadium.

Stadium wood floor is made of pure solid wood as the raw material as the base material with baseboards, mats, moisture-proof film and other accessories combined, generally speaking, professional stadium wood floor installation will be paved in advance moisture-proof measures to avoid the wooden floor moisture in water.

Laminate flooring soaked in water to find a water source and quickly cut off.

If you soak in water in a small area, you can remove the baseboard of the laminate floor, expose the expansion joint, and wipe the water clean with a vacuum cleaner or rag. Do not pry open the laminate flooring to avoid serious damage to the floor. Or use a hair dryer to work well, but be sure to choose cold air, if the wind is too hot, it will cause deformation, cracks, etc.

If the composite floor is soaked in water in a large area, there is no need to repair it, so you should contact the after-sales service provided by the wood flooring manufacturer and ask a professional master to deal with it. If the floor needs to be partially replaced, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the color and specification of the new floor are the same as the original floor, otherwise the effect is incompatible.

Maintenance of laminate ash flooring

1. Long-term uninhabited shirts and voids.

If you have not lived in the house for a long time, it is recommended to keep a few basins of salt water in the house to make up for the evaporated water or combustion. If the indoor air is too dry, the temperature change is likely to cause the floor to dry out and crack, resulting in deformation and warping.

2. Keep the floor tidy.

The north is drier, and it is recommended to wipe the floor with a semi-dry wet towel. The weather in the south is humid, and the mop rag must be wrung out before mopping the floor.

3. Wax regularly.

Waxing can give the floor a more colourful look, and the stain should be cleaned before waxing. Then apply floor wax to the surface of the floor, wait for the wax to dry, and then wipe it with a soft cloth to make the floor smoother and brighter.

4. It is forbidden to scratch the floor with sharp objects.

When moving furniture, do not push or pull directly on the laminate floor, and be careful to lift the furniture to move and place it gently. Do not scratch sharp objects on the floor to avoid damaging the floor.

Laminate flooring soaking should be based on the length of soaking time to use different solutions

1. For the short soaking time, the situation is not serious

There is not much water on the surface, find it in time, dry it quickly, and dry it naturally; After mopping dry, it is found that part of the leakage, blistering at the corners, if there is no major problem after the bottom is dry, it can be waxed and maintained; If there is non-negligible deformation and swelling, it needs to be dismantled or replaced and re-paved. If the ground floor has been soaked in water, you need to get up the floor immediately, wipe it dry and dry, and the bottom water should be dried immediately to prevent it from seeping downstairs.

2. Long-term immersion type, the situation is serious

Due to poor waterproofing or pipeline leakage and infiltration, long-term soaking caused by water deformation and mildew, it is necessary to deal with the corresponding reasons (or the responsible person can be compensated), the situation is generally not large, and can be partially replaced according to the situation.

Burst pipe (directly poured on the board, or overflowing out of the kitchen and bathroom room) causes a large area of soaking, which needs to be treated according to the situation after the floor is dried: The floor with better quality or waterproof function has less deformation and swelling, and can be resurfaced, pay attention to install it from the middle of the ground to the wall, first install the floor with small deformation and relatively flat, and put the deformed floor in a hidden position or at the skirting board next to the wall; Laminate flooring is often difficult to restore to usable level, and it is recommended to replace it directly.

If the requirements are not high, dry in the shade or absorb water with desiccant, and use sanitary balls to eliminate mildew. It is recommended not to use the floor at the door of the kitchen and bathroom where there is damp and often have water, but to use floor tiles or stone to pave the floor.

Now the most important thing is to keep the floor as deformed as possible while drying it is crucial. After the surface water of the floor can be wiped dry, it should be placed in the shape of "well" superposition, and the weight generated by its stacking can be used to prevent deformation, and the reverse side of the floor should be paid attention to when placing it to prevent the surface from drying out due to rapid drying, and at the same time, it should not be exposed to the sun, it should be placed in a ventilated place to dry, and under normal circumstances, it can be used again for solid wood and multi-layer solid wood with good quality. If your floor has been impregnated with wax treatment is very large and can be restored to its original appearance, if it has not been impregnated with wax or coated with wax, it may be a little slower, and the after-sales service office of the floor should be notified as soon as possible when water leakage occurs, and the staff will provide the best solution to the owner in combination with the floor's own situation.

If the water soaking of the composite floor is not serious, you can use a dry round rag to wipe the water on it, or use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the water in the gaps of the wooden floor, and then use the cold air of a hair dryer to dry it. When the soaking area is relatively large, you can choose to use the refrigeration system of the air conditioner to dehumidify.

For the composite floor where the water is not very soaked, you can wipe the moisture on the surface with a dry rag in time, or use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the moisture in the seams of the soaked wood floor, and then use the cold air of the hair dryer to dry it to avoid deformation.

When the soaking area is relatively large, you can choose to use the refrigeration system of the air conditioner to dehumidify, which can make the composite floor quickly return to drying, at this time, close all the doors and windows, and turn down the temperature of the air conditioner, about 1 2 days to absorb the water vapor inside.

If the soaking area is relatively large, it is best to consult the after-sales service of the town digging manufacturer to help solve the problem, it is best not to directly expose it to the sun, so that it is easier to accelerate the deformation of the floor.
