Wet semi-solid flooring

noddyone2 · 2011-09-05 14:39:19

Hi all, Semi-solid floor has got wet from a roof tank leak. It was wet for about 4 hours, area of 4x3 ft. Have had a de-humidifier running, and heat. Is the floor scrap? or is drying enough?Thanks.

How much water was involved - was there a pool of water sitting on it for 4 hours??

With Semi-Solid floors only the top layer is hardwood so even if that looks ok the damage could still have got into the fibreboard below this layer. Would it be easy enough to lift some of the boards to check whats underneath?? - only way of knowing for sure.
