Refinishing or repairing an aging floor can prolong its life, but there are times when it’s best to start from scratch. Check out the signs below that it’s time to replace your floors. If you need flooring installation for your home or business in Seattle or the surrounding areas, give Magic Hardwood a call.
Major Wear and Tear
A few scuffs and scratches are normal for older floors, but if yours have deep cracks or scratches, it’s better to replace them. Deeper cracks have a higher risk of pest infestations and water damage. When spills happen, water can seep into the floor boards, causing everything from mold growth to rotting wood. Termites are also attracted to open wood sources that are more evident when floors are scratched.
Creaky Floorboards
As a building settles, creaks here and there is nothing to worry about. Some creaky floors are caused by something as fixable as a loose nail. But if your flooring is old, creaky floorboards could be an indication of rotting wood, poor installation, or sub-floor damage.
Strange Smells
Unpleasant odors can become lodged within floorboards that are impossible to totally eradicate. These smells can be caused by mold, urine from pets, and other accidents. To eliminate odors, the original flooring needs to be removed, the sub-floor needs to be thoroughly cleaned, then replaced with new flooring.
