Floor Water Damage Restoration in Delta, BC
Ladner still has original hardwood over a low crawl. The floor cups from below when the sump quits.
North Delta splits have laminate over a rec room. The floor fails because the bathroom above let go, and the rec-room ceiling is the other half of the same boards.
Ladner hardwood from a wet crawl
We dry the joists before we sand anything. Boards that only cupped can come back. Boards with rotten ends at the crawl hatch come out.
Nordel laminate
The click floor peaks over the wet subfloor under the tub. Those boards come up. The ceiling underneath is opened in the same footprint.
Beach Grove floors
Low lots keep the underside damp. A new floor on joists that still read wet will cup again by spring.

Questions from this area
Floor Restoration in Delta: common questions
Can old Ladner hardwood be refinished after a flood?
Only after the crawl is dry and the boards have laid back down. Refinishing a wet cup locks the wave in.
The laminate looks fine except one seam. Is that the whole floor?
Often just the wet zone under the bathroom. We lift that zone and meter outward.
Is Tsawwassen hardwood or laminate?
Both, plus slope water at one wall. Not the Nordel bathroom-over-laminate pattern.
