Mold Damaged Hardwood Floors Part 1

If you have hardwood floors and they look like the hardwood floors in this Before Photo, something is wrong.

Buckling or cupping of hardwood floors can be a sign of water damage.  In this case, water flowed between the sub-floor and hardwood floors causing the floors to start cupping even though there was never any visible evidence of water.  As a result of the hidden water, mold also began to grow along the edges of each wood plank (You can see a close up of the mold growth on the wood planks in our Photo Gallery).  Due to the severity, these floors along with the sub-floor underneath were non-salvageable and had to be replaced.
