Hardwood Floor Restoration & Refinishing | Schuler Hardwood Flooring, Lexington KY

The earliest signs are cupping (edges rising) or crowning (center rising). In a bathroom overflow, look for dark water stains near vanities or the toilet, buckling planks, or gaps between boards. If the wood feels spongy or mold appears along the baseboard, the floor likely has deep moisture penetration. Schuler Hardwood Flooring inspects the subfloor and checks moisture readings to determine if drying is possible or if partial replacement is needed.

First, we address the source by working with waterproofing contractors to stop foundation seepage. Then we perform damage restoration: removing wet sections, drying the subfloor with industrial equipment, and treating for mold. After the area is stable and dry, we refinish or replace the hardwood. Since Lexington has variable water tables, we seal the wood and install proper vapor barriers to prevent future groundwater issues.

Yes. Flash flood water often soaks into your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, vanities, and trim. Our fixture refinishing service strips, sands, and re-stains the cabinets and built-ins to match your restored hardwood floor. We also color-match new wood to the old, so the floor and fixtures look like they belong together. This saves you from replacing entire cabinet sets after flooding.
