Floating Floor Repair in Burgos
A floating floor that sinks when you walk on it, creaks with every step, bulges at the seams or has been soaked by a leak almost always has a specific, identifiable cause. We inspect the subfloor and the boards themselves before proposing a repair, because the same fault tends to come back if only the visible symptom is treated.

What does this service include?
A floating floor that sinks when you walk on it, creaks with every step, bulges at the seams or has been soaked by a leak almost always has a specific, identifiable cause. We inspect the subfloor and the boards themselves before proposing a repair, because the same fault tends to come back if only the visible symptom is treated.

Seasonal Considerations

Frequently Asked Questions about Floating Floor Repair
My floating floor sinks when I walk on it, what should I check?
This points to a hollow or uneven area under the boards, usually caused by a poorly prepared subfloor or a section of underlay that has compressed unevenly. We open the affected area to see the subfloor before repairing.
Why does my floating floor crack or creak when I step on certain boards?
Creaking is common when boards do not have enough room to expand and contract, when the subfloor has a slight unevenness, or when a click joint has come apart underneath. We test the affected boards to find the exact cause.
My floating floor is bulging or swollen, is it always due to water?
Water is the most common cause, but bulging can also happen when the expansion gap around the room was not left correctly, so the floor has nowhere to expand into during humid periods. We check both possibilities.
My floor got wet from a leak, can it be repaired instead of fully replaced?
Often yes, if we act quickly and only a limited area is affected. Swollen boards are usually replaced individually rather than replacing the whole floor, provided matching material is available.
