The floor in your home is an important part of not just the structure but also the aesthetic and other aspects of your house as well. That said, it's important to keep it in good shape at all times if you want to get the most out of it. Read on to see some signs that should let you know that it's time to redo your flooring.

It's Noisy

The first sign that you need to redo your flooring is when it starts to make noise. If there are squeaks and squeals whenever someone walks on the floor, this is a sign that something is amiss. This may be a result of improper installation or damage and rot in the subfloor. It could also mean there are problems with the foundation or loose boards Whatever the case is, you should have a flooring contractor look at your flooring and advise you on the steps to take.

It's Discolored

Another sign that you need to call a flooring contractor to redo your floors is if it's discolored. This may be due to repairs that were done on a small part of the floor or even just stains. These are a natural part of living, and they're both things that you can expect from time to time. The discoloration can also be noticed when you move an item that has sat in place for a long time and the floor underneath it is a different shade from the rest of the floor.

It's Damaged

If your home has had any form of water damage as a result of leaks or floods, then you should consider new flooring. This is because water damage leaves your entire home prone to issues like mold and mildew. These can go on to cause a lot of damage and discomfort to the people in the home if ignored for long enough. According to Hardwood Floors Magazine, 52% of people have wood floors in their homes and 75% say they have carpeting. For these people, it may be a bigger issue.

If you see any or all of the signs above in your home's flooring, ask a flooring contractor to come and have a look at your floor. They'll advise you on the next steps to take. Get in contact with Creative Tile of Ridgefield today to learn more.
