I have oak parquet floors that are about 40 years old.

My bedroom was flooded with water.

I mopped up the whole mess.

How do i repair the floor?

  1. I’m with 3:25. My parlor floor parquet floors were warped by a flood from the bathroom upstairs, looking unsalvageable. The insurance adjustor told me to wait 2 weeks-she’d seen it before-before getting back to her. She said they would at most need a couple nails. She was right as they soon flattened out w/o needing any nails. Give it some time. Open the windows. Those floors are tougher than they look. I was glad I waited.

  2. According to your profile you live in a rental. Unless the deluge was a result of letting your bath overflow, which is the only event I can conceive of that would cause a “flood” and that could be classified as your own fault, why aren’t you prevailing upon the landlord to do the repair?

  3. Let the floors dry out for a week or two. Depending on how much water soaked in, they might flatten out when they dry. I had a flood and the edges of the wood curled. I was all set to re-sand my floors when they went back flat….
