Replacing Flooring After Water Damage

Replacing Flooring After Water Damage

Water damage is a fact of life on the Gulf Coast. The most important step happens before any new floor is chosen: finding and fixing the source, then drying the subfloor completely.

Dry first, floor second

Installing over a damp subfloor traps moisture and invites mold. We check moisture levels before we install and tell you plainly if more drying time is needed.

Best replacement choices

Luxury vinyl plank and tile are our go-to replacements because they tolerate future moisture. If the damage is minor, we'll say so at the estimate and quote the smallest fix that lasts.

Working with restoration contractors

We install for restoration projects and insurance-driven jobs across Chalmette, Kenner, and the greater metro. Call us or request a free estimate.
