How Do I Know It's Time for New Flooring?

When You Should Replace Your Flooring

Eventually flooring needs to be replaced, but how do you know when it is time? It can also help with a multitude of problems. Here are some common signs that it is time to get new flooring.

Wear and Tear

All floors get their fair share of wear and tear, but it eventually can’t be repaired if the damage is too deep. Once a scratch or crack gets deep enough pollutants, moisture, and other contaminants begin to creep into the materials. This can lead to mold, mildew, termites, and more.


Water Damage

Water damage can cause huge problems, especially when it comes to flooring. If your floor becomes flooded, it is important to make sure it dries completely. The slightest amount of water can create future issues with the floor. You can tell if your floor has water damage through warped wood, discoloration and staining in sections, and mold that won’t go away.

Loud Flooring

If your floors are making creaking or squeaking, something is not right. It could be as simple as just refastening the floorboards, but it could also be a sign that the floor wasn’t installed right, the floor or sub-flooring is rotting, or a damaged foundation. Having your flooring inspected is a great way to avoid a potential future problem.


Too Much Sanding

Hardwood floors are great since they can be sanded to look new many times, and good hardwood floors can last over a decade with the right care and attention. However, after they are sanded too many times they can become think and more likely to crack. If your floors have been sanded too many times, it may be time to replace them.

Discolored Flooring

If discoloration stays even though you have tried many remedies, it may be a tell-tell sign that your floors have a bigger issue. Moisture and some chemicals can create the discolored flooring, which can affect the integrity of your floors.


Unpleasant Smells

If your floors have a bad smell, this is a definite sign your floors need to be replaced. Moisture and mold can cause your floors to smell unpleasant, but for homes with pets there can be other issues, such as pet urine, food crumbs, or tainted water soaking into your flooring.


These are just a few signs that you may need to replace your flooring, but if you suspect that your floors may need to be replaced give us a call at 615-646-0366.
