Water Damaged Laminate Flooring-How To Fix It (Without Replacing It)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video, I show you how to fix water damaged laminate flooring without replacing it. If water has soaked into your laminate flooring boards, there is a chance that you might not have to replace them. If they are still dry enough, you can use towels to remove the majority of the water, then you can use a shop vac to suck up most of the remaining moisture from between the laminate flooring boards. Once you’ve finished that, you can let a dehumidifier run for a while to get rid of any remaining moisture! You have to use your own judgement though, because if the flooring is too wet, then it will have to be replaced.

This talks about preventing damage happening to the laminate floor after getting wet but does not say how to fix it like the title says - please adjust title to reflect the content.
thanks for saving 6 minutes of my life. I think his solution will leave mold to grow.
This comment is more important than the video lol
The video isn't about fixing water-damaged laminate flooring. It's about how to prevent damage if water gets on your laminated flooring. Use a vacuum and dehumidifier are the take aways.
but what happens when the laminate has separated/ moved ( gaps between some of the them) ?
No fixing. It's damage limitation to an undamaged floor
Yeah bad video
You said alot but nothing at the same time.
Right I feel like he’s rambling
hahahaha
And sounds almost normal a 1.5x
Video begins at 4:34, does not fix water damage as titled, just cleaned up a recent spill
This was helpful, thanks. Now how do I disinfect the floor after the flooding?
anyone else watch on 2x lol
It’s kind of messed up that you seek someone’s information and experience and then not just give them the respect of watching their 6 minute video patiently. “Lol”
1.5! It was a good video
Thanks for suggesting. I didn't know video speed was option for YT videos. Very helpful video!
No joke tho hahaha had to run at least 1.25 to make it watchable
Yeah I watch like 90% on TH-cam vids on 1.5-2x lol. Once you start you cant stop
Could just say dry the floor. It’s not saving the floor. It’s drying it
I literally have the exact same laminate floor haha funny this is the first video I clicked to see how to fix water damage.
This is NOT about replacing damaged flooring. 🤦♀️ It’s about drying it out FAST so it doesn’t lift or bubble. Thanks for all of it. But not what I was looking for. Maybe change the title?
But you did not tell us how to fix it or repair
"HOPEFULLY" others will not waste their time watching this video.
Drinking game, take a shot every time he says "laminate flooring"
Mine was heavily damaged and I plan to remove and clean the subfloor and install hardwood to prevent it.
I can't tell if the guys voice has broken or if he has swallowed laughing gas!
Our glassed-door bar fridge has been leaking because of humidity in the room. I wish I had have watched this before our laminate floor started to swell. I wonder if the damage (bubbled flooring) will subside... To anyone reading this... do NOT have a glassed door bar fridge indoors if you live in a subtropical climate (unless you have a concrete floor). This video is actually helpful if you find the problem right away but if damage discovered months later sadly with laminate flooring will probably be an insurance job.
how can i add a photo to show if this house has had water damaged floor
I hope this dude found out that there is a protective sealant they make to seal the laminate flooring to prevent water damage
Doubt it. He'll be too busy talking.

Installed 900sqf of top grade vinyl flooring in my basement last yr. Remodeling taking place as I write this comment. Threw a load of laundry in before running an errand tonight, forgot to stab the washer drain line...yup, approximately 50 gallons of water with no bleach in it.
So, I just got stuff out of the way and will go get a industrial dehumidifier rental tomorrow.
Bummer! Cool thing is I didn't turn around and get a gallon of whiskey at the liquor store and drink into oblivion...yet.
Proud of your restraint and hope your remodeling has gone successfully 😂
@alli3t thank you, moved on from that client...be well friend!
This video is not about fixing the floor. It's about a prevention procedure in hopes that you don't have to replace it. The title of this video is misleading.
This had nothing to do with repairing water damaged laminate
Helpful, but was hoping for fixing, entire video is about drying out the moisture.
I almost thought this was Kermit the Frog lol
i have bought and stored floating floor for about 12 years ..just never got around to laying til now. My question is should i put it down if it has a musky smell and white build up on edges of the boards it isnt black or wet....,,Is it mold and just something else,.......,please need advice
What an obnoxious delivery of nothing.
Ummm did I miss where u said how to fix it.. pretty much 6 minutes of where water comes from and clean it up
Misleading title fooling people to watch your video !
That floor is still gonna swell on the edges
I bought the exact same dehumidifier yesterday. Clearance at Canadian Tire for $149 lol 😂
This flooring isn't damaged; the video is about preventing damage after a flood
This does not address “damaged” flooring. Title is misleading. 🤦🏽
If a dog pees on click together flooring, does any liquid seep into the seems?. I am considering waterproof vinyl. Any one advise please?
Yes it will
Mate, they are called "planks". Not "pieces", not "sheets". Planks!
Sounds like a clown just entered the kids party
Hi I just had a water damage leak that caused several laminate floors to rise and are not equal anymore, I called a contractor and he told me to change the entire living room even though it's only the laminate floors next to the kitchen bc in a few years I'll have more problems? Is that true or is he trying to scam me?
Now picture this, he didn’t tell you and in a couple years or so the rest go bad, I bet you would still call him complaining.
Issue with self employment is dealing with people like yourself
How to mop up water.
Its MDF. Once It gets wet its game over.
So, basically it's not damaged and you didn't repair it. You removed water and prevented the damage from happening. You may want to change the title to "how to remove water from laminate flooring before it ruins it"
A 2-step, 15 second video turned into 6:17. Completely unhelpful.
adjust video speed x1.25 u welcome
I did this before I read your comment. I watch most TH-cam like that.
This method is so ineffective, like putting bandaid on a bullet wound. If there is water in the cracks and seams there is water underneath my friend. You need to pull those boards.
Did you actually look under the planks to see if there was mold or have it tested for mold ? Seems to me that water is going to get right under those planks and create nastiness. Your dream is appropriate but uh unrealistic !
Misleading title and insufferable video. There's nothing about fixing, just removing water to prevent damage. Played in double speed to try to get to the point...but the point never came.
I want a refund.
What if there's mold
🙏I'll try thank you
A video of just a lot of nothing...terrible. I did not enjoy this video. Waste of time.
Much said little done!
Agree with Geoffwillis. This isnt about fixing laminate flooring; its about salvaging it. Sorry guy, youre getting a thumbs down from me
Saving not fixing. good flick
So grab a towel. Nice trick to get someone to watch. Hack
This isn't fixing it this is literally just cleaning up the water, wtf
So this isn't 'how to fix', it's damage limitation to an un damaged floor.
Click bait sorry 👎
Should be called Un-helpful DIY.
He sounds like Bill gates😂
He sounds like Gary Vaynerchuk
Hey every body LOL 😅
wish I would have watched this--first!
*AS I DID NOT KNOW*
(THE NEXT DAY)
*HOW MUCH* WATER WOULD STILL BE OOZING OUT!
I FCKED UP😢😮
It was helpful and ton helpful Brena
Are you serious? smh.
Waste of my time thinking he was going to fix something
People will post rubbish with misleading titles to get views.
Can you believe, the #2 used flooring in America, cannot get wet…at all for most part, think about how stupid that is… and mine says waterproof, haha it’s not!
mislabeled
How many did you down before making this video? 6-12-24 pack?
10 Seconds: Dry it and watch it. Doesn't work, replace. If it works then you are lucky you have minimal damage.
Thanks.
"How to vacuum up water"... 🤔
Urgh, I want a refund on my time i just wasted watching this garbage
I didn't know kermit the frog could give such bad DIY advice...
Hopefully hopefully???
I'm playing the video at 1.25 speed. It sounds normal now.
Takes too long to get to the point! She likes talking.
This video is useless. Sorry you wasted your time
Another useless mis-titled video.
Ahhhhh my freakin ears!!! Make it stop!!!
Talk to much
haaaaai~~~!
All yapping and it doesnt even address the title ffs
Hey every body LOL 😅
