Lifting laminate floor problem. This video will show you how to fix a laminate, wood, or even vinyl floor that is lifting or buckling because its just to tight to the walls. All flooring should have at least 1/4" perimeter gap for expansion. If there's not at least 1/4" expansion and the floor is to tight to the wall the only way for floor to go is up. The floor we are fixing here was pressing against the walls so tight that it was lifting 6" off the ground. We relief cut the perimeter of the room where it was touching with our oscillating saw in order to get the floor to drop back down. I know oscillating are expensive so I put a link below where you can get over 20 blades for the price of 1 in the big box stores.
I see a lot of laminate floors like this that are install with little to no expansion and they all lift like this. That's why its so important to install your flooring properly. Always allow wood and laminate floors time to acclimate prior to installation as well if you want to avoid problems like this. Also make sure you install your flooring under constant AC and make sure its the same temp that the floor is always going to be in.
I have tons of videos on how to install all different styles of laminate and vinyl flooring if you really want to learn to install flooring properly.
I also have links for the tapping block we used in this video as well as all the other tools we use to complete these jobs at the bottom of this description so please check them out and be sure to click on our links if the want to help support us.

I love what do and I love helping people with my videos. If you have any really important questions be sure and comment on the video, but the BEST way to contact me for a job or a question is to send me a text. My number is in the beginning of all my videos.

Thanks for the video! It was exactly the solution to my problem. I especially appreciated it since other creators said nothing to do but pull the floor up and replace it. In the real world that isn’t always an option.

One more tip, before removing the trim, run a pencil line so you know how much not to take off. The last thing you want to do is remove too much flooring and now have a gap between the baseboard and flooring.

@EnragedSephiroth Месяц назад

Good proactive measure. Thank you

@NoneOfYourBeesWax1 Год назад

Here's me just about to plug 1000 staples into my floor. This looks like a much better solution. Thanks.

@paulaking2157 2 года назад

This tip was very helpful and alot easier than removing most of the floor to correct the buckling!

@PolaCaKe890 9 месяцев назад

Straight to the point and explain WHY instead of just what. Thank you

i had an area in my kitchen where a couple boards had lifted a little from getting wet I fixed it by running a small fan on it for a couple of nights and putting a little canvas bag half full of silica gel desiccant (for flowers.) laid across the area at the same time.

That's amazing! I git a quick question if you don't mind...my heringbone floor is flexing right in the middle, i have left 5-8mm on all the edges, and probably because the floor is not level...there is any way that i can fix that flex ???? Thank you!

@trailsloth6956 Год назад

So my lvp is heaving up in certain spots but only at the very end was it not installed properly

@Tyani-sz6cg 2 года назад

Random question. What's wrong with H jointing LVP? Aesthetically speaking I understand it's not a great look. But if a customer wants it, is there anything wrong with doing it that way? I've heard random folks talk about it over the years, and nobody can give me a straight answer as to why.

I'm not a floor person at all but I created a problem with my 20 year old laminate floor. I had some work done on my funace. I needed to install about 2' of 1/4 round moundling that wasn't there before. I did a real good job with my brad gun and 2" staples as I stapled the moulding through the laminate floor to the sub floor. With in two months I had a creeky floor there AND the edges of 5 boards were starting to curl up. At this point it dawned on me as when this floor was installed it was explained to me it was a "floating" floor. Well I got back down there and pulled the moulding and brads out of the floor and the squeek immediately went away as your floor settled here. Now I'm hoping the curled up edges settle back down. It's improved a lot but I don't think the edges will ever go back to normal. BUT I wanted to make the point that what you are talking about in your video is EXTREMELY important and for anybody doing any moulding work don't nail it down so tight to the sub floor.

After u cut the floor and create the space - is it ok the put the baseboard back on? Just add no caulking?

@Gonzalezmabel 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I have a question and forgive me for being naive as I just bought my first home and I am discovering problems along the way. Does laminate flooring require the installation of lining? My laminate started lifting and as I took one piece out I discovered condensation. The foundation is slab and there was no lining. Thank you for your time.
