Flooring Fact: foundation! foundation! foundation!

You’ve heard of location! location! location! a term synonymous with real estate. How does this relate to the world of flooring?

Well in the world of floors it is all about foundation! foundation! foundation! The number one cause of flooring instillation failures is improper surface prep prior to the new floor being installed. The foundation of a successful flooring instillation experience is directly correlated to the amount of time taken to address any preexisting site conditions.

This includes any moisture mitigation steps, whether from moisture in a slab, plumbing leaks or leaking around an exterior door. Floor flatness and smoothness should always be addressed prior to instillation. If you can feel it or see it before the new floor is installed it will telegraph through your new dream floor and be more costly to correct in the future.
