Fort Langley, BC
Floor Water Damage Restoration in Fort Langley, BC
Fort Langley floors are original fir with newer overlays on top. A supply line under the kitchen wets the fir from above the crawl and the overlay hides it.
Village cellars cup the whole kitchen. Bedford Landing floors are modern and fail at a fitting like any newer house.
Fir under a newer overlay
We find out which layer is wet. Sometimes the overlay goes and the fir can dry. Sometimes the fir ends at the crawl are the part that failed.
Cellar-driven cups
If the hatch is damp, sanding is the wrong first step. The joists get dried. The fir is rechecked after it has had a chance to lie down.
Landing houses
Engineered floors, a real subfloor, a contained leak. We lift the wet run and leave the heritage approach for the village.

Questions from this area
Floor Restoration in Fort Langley: common questions
Will you sand the original fir?
After it is dry and flat. Sanding wet fir locks the cups in.
The new floor on top is what buckled. Is the old floor wet too?
Often yes. We meter the fir before we put another layer down.
Are escarpment floors the village fir?
Some are. Others are later houses with a buried wall wetting one edge of a newer floor.
