Of the many types of flooring available, the most elegant option for most home and business owners would most likely be hardwood flooring. Hardwood floors are stylish installations that immediately add a luxurious vibe to any room. The classic feel that they provide, however, requires high maintenance. Hardwood floors are subject to damage caused by day-to-day activities, and while some require only a simple cleanup, some necessitate repairs that could only be thoroughly done by a professional.
After water damage, hardwood floors can buckle, get discolored, and can even support mold development. Often, these damages would require repairs or a total replacement. In any case, proper assessment, repairs, and reconstruction can only, be performed by a professional. Improper or incorrect installation of hardwood floors can lead to warped edges and further buckling.
At ServiceMaster by LoveJoy, we understand the importance that an effective wood floor repair or replacement service can do. We perform our task with the health and safety of your wood floors in mind, ensuring that we restore them to pre-damage conditions as soon as possible.

Top Causes of Wood Floor Damage
We will be at your side every step of the journey, from the minute you phone us until your house is returned to its pre-damaged form. We realize how stressful the rebuilding and reconstruction process can be. Our professionals will handle all of the complexities, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
- Natural wear and tear. Wood floors, just like other items, degrade over time. Contaminants that cannot be removed by vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping will cause your floors to turn dull and lose their luster.
- Scratches. Pets and hardwood floors are natural enemies. Aside from pets, moving furniture and debris on footwear can also leave scratches on your floors.
- Pet stains. Pet stains are unlike water spills that can typically be removed by wiping. Pet urine can penetrate wood fibers and discolor your floors, leaving dark, ugly stains. A high-quality polyurethane seal is one of the finest ways to protect your hardwood floors against pet urine stains (and even surface scratches). If your pet does have an accident, the urine will have a harder time penetrating the wood.
- Buckling. A flood or a significant water damage event can warp your wood floors, causing buckling. Buckling can also result from improper installations.
- Sun fading. Wood floors are sensitive to sunlight, causing fading over time. You can protect your wood floors by getting a high-quality finish or by using curtains and blinds.
- Termite infestation. Termite damage on wood floors can be indicated by squeaking or a hollow sound when you step on them. Since termite damage is often hidden and could take a long time to be visible, a lack of action can lead to weakened floors and eventual destruction.

Wood Floor or Hard Surface Floor Care Tips
- Use doormats at all exterior entrances and exits to trap sand and grit before it enters the building and scratches the floor.
- Use area rugs on high traffic pathways, particularly in pivot areas like the ends of steps and doorways. Avoid using rugs that have rubber backs, as these do not allow for proper ventilation.
- Standing water can damage wood floors. Be sure to clean up spills immediately.
- A quick-dry mopping or vacuuming daily to weekly will help maintain floors.
- Utilize furniture protectors under furniture that will be moved regularly, like office chairs and break room furniture, to avoid scratching and denting floors.
- Check for wear periodically and don't wait until floors show extreme wear before you take action.
Insurance Claim Process
- Contact your insurance company or the agent who sold you the insurance.
- Document all losses (photos, videos, etc.) and create copies of all documents.
- Verify the adjuster's identity.
- Show all of the damage to the adjuster.
