When Does Your Hardwood Floor Need Resanding And Refinishing?

Cleaning services in Austin

Even the highest quality hardwood floor will require sanding and refinishing at some point, and you need to know when your floor needs it. Here at The Steam Team, we pride ourselves on our technician’s excellent service and knowledge when it comes to refinishing hardwood floors. So here’s our advice on how to know when your floor needs resanding and refinishing.

Dark Spots and Warping

Water damage is the most common and most expensive type of damage that homeowners deal with. Water damage under the floorboards can occur for a number of different reasons, but will usually result in dark spots appearing on the floor and separation or cupping of the boards. When you see this, it’s time to have your floor refinished and possibly have some of the boards replaced.

Scratches In The Seal

The seal on your floor is designed to keep the wood from being damaged or left open to spills. When something scratches deep enough to penetrate the seal, the boards are exposed. Pay attention to the scratches on your floor, and if any of them penetrate the seal, it’s time to call in The Steam Team and refinish your floor.

Discoloration

Pay close attention to the color of your floor as well. If you notice that your boards have turned gray, it might be a result of the polyurethane wearing off, leaving your boards more susceptible from water damage due to spills or regular cleaning. When you see this, have your hardwood sanded and refinished soon, before the boards turn black. Once they’ve turned black, they’ll need to be replaced entirely. 

Similarly, If you have a hardwood floor outdoors, keep an eye on the color. If it fades in color it may be damaged from the sun. Sanding and refinishing will take care of this as well.

We hope that the information provided will help you keep your hardwood floors in great condition for years to come. For more information on the many services we offer, visit The Steam Team website.
