FAQs:

Why is my laminate flooring lifting or buckling?

This is often caused by moisture beneath the floor or poor installation. We can diagnose the cause and advise on the best course of action.  It may be necessary to install a moisture barrier – we can assist with this.

Can rain damage a concrete slab before flooring is installed?

Yes, especially in Auckland’s wet climate. Rainwater trapped in the slab can lead to future flooring failures. We offer concrete moisture testing to determine slab readiness.

Why is my vinyl flooring bubbling or lifting?

This usually indicates poor adhesion due to moisture, an uneven substrate, or a contaminated surface. We can identify the cause and recommend a fix.

How do I know if my concrete slab is dry enough for flooring?

Visual checks aren’t enough. We provide professional moisture testing and can also apply concrete moisture barriers if needed.

Can you assess timber floors as well?

Yes. For timber substrates, we can check for flatness and suitability before flooring is installed. We also offer timber floor levelling using self-levelling compounds.

What happens after your assessment?

We’ll provide clear written or verbal guidance on how to resolve the issue. If needed, we can liaise with your builder, installer, or insurance assessor.
