Question:

how to repair liquid damage to engineered hardwood flooring?

my daughter had a pee pee accident last night on her bedroom floor and didn't tell us. when I woke her in the morning, the damage was done. I wiped it up, but there is damage starting at the seams....please help...

Answer:

If you are noticing moisture damage at the seems, then you either have a very cheap engineered hardwood floor or a laminate floor. If you are seeing separation of the laminate or swelling of the joints, there is little you can do other than waiting for the floor to completely dry. If the swelling/separation remains, then the only option is to replace the damaged planks.
