You may have looked after your floor as best as you could. However, even regularly maintained floors will eventually need replacing. While you may not feel excited about a floor replacement, you could achieve various benefits from this home improvement project.
First, floor replacement could save you from further problems like pest infestations and health issues. Furthermore, a new floor is refreshing and increases your home's aesthetic appeal.
Below are some telltale signs you need to replace your home's flooring.
One of the few cons of hardwood floors is that they are rather susceptible to water damage, stains, and other issues that may lead to moisture exposure. A good floor seal or stain can keep your floor from soaking in water. However, if your home is susceptible to plumbing issues and flooding, you could also experience water damage.
A good way to recognize water damage in your flooring is to look for signs of warping or separation. If you have recently refinished your floor and it buckled or warped too soon, the water damage may be extensive, and your home is better off with the floor being replaced.
Sometimes, such damage is isolated to a small area and is fixable by refinishing and sanding the floor. However, in other cases, such damage may be extensive, and you may need to assess the cause of the damage and fix it before replacing the floor.
Wood floors will develop scratches, scuffs, and gouges due to everyday use. However, if you notice that the floor has severe cracks and scratches, you may need to replace the floor.
Cracked and scratched floors allow grime, moisture, and pollutants to sink into your floor, causing further damage. Furthermore, such floors are more susceptible to mold and mildew, and pests may find their way into your house easier with a damaged floor.
Peeking nails are unattractive on floors. Furthermore, these nails may be dangerous, as someone in the household could step on them and get hurt, especially when they appear in open places such as the living room. While a few cases of nail exposure may not be a cause for concern, the appearance of nails across large floor areas may point to a need to replace the floor.
Hardwood floors can discolor over time and for different reasons. For example, long-term exposure of the floor to the sun can cause discoloration. If this happens, you can sand the floor and refinish it to restore its glow. However, if the floor's discoloration results from issues like water damage, the floor will need replacement.
Hardwood floor squeaks and creaks are sometimes normal. For example, solid and engineered hardwood floors have floorboards that expand and contract with seasonal temperature changes. However, if your flooring is older, the problem may be bigger and need replacement.
Furthermore, you could have sanded your hardwood floor too many times, which causes it to become too thin and susceptible to structural damage. If this is the case, you may need to replace the floor.
