Slab Leak Under Hardwood Cleanup Questions in Russian Mission
Can a damp hardwood floor dry without removing boards?
The answer depends on how much water reached the underside and whether the lower layers allow drying. A technician measures the assembly before deciding where access is needed. Surface appearance alone cannot confirm that the slab side is dry.
Will cupped boards flatten after the leak stops?
Some boards change shape as moisture levels fall, but permanent distortion is possible. The drying crew tracks moisture; a flooring specialist judges the finish and any later sanding or replacement. Drying does not promise a flat finished floor.
