5 good reasons to get the master to reposition the laminate

Even if you decide to entrust the specialist with laying the laminate, it is worthwhile to carefully consider the work for defects. After all, even professionals have mistakes. Sometimes unscrupulous masters come across who act due to the lack of knowledge of the customer.

Now we will consider five good reasons when it is worth getting the master to shift the laminate.

1. Uneven rough floor. If after laying the laminate, somewhere in a couple of weeks there is a creak and a rattle, as well as cracks appear between the panels. The laminate becomes floating and bubbles appear, then most likely the floor difference in height is more than the permissible 2-3 mm per square meter. If this happens, you need to force the master to shift the laminate, since the work is done poorly. At what it is not necessary to put a new one, you can use the same laminate. It is necessary to remove it from the floor as quickly as possible so that its parts do not deteriorate or suffer. Then make the foundation smooth and even, and take out the construction waste.

1. If there is no necessary clearance between walls and strips of 10 mm in size. Lack of the necessary clearance will cause the floor to rise, the slats rise at angles and grating and creaks appear. An urgent need to shift the laminate. When the master re-puts the laying, he will need to leave a gap of 10 mm from all the walls and then skating and the sounds of the laminate will stop.
2. The presence of construction waste. Everything is extremely simple here: it is necessary to remove the laminate and remove all construction debris so that the laminate becomes smooth.
3. Laminate swelling at panel joints. If material panels are pressed against each other from different sides, bumps appear. This happens when there is no indentation from the walls around the entire perimeter of the floor covering. In this case, it is necessary to draw a conditional perpendicular from unevenness at the junction to the wall. Then remove the baseboard, if any, and cut 1-2cm from the extreme panel. If necessary, put a heavy thing on bumps.
4. Mold and fungus. A terrible looking and dangerous problem for the body, occurs if there is excessive moisture. Most likely, if the basis is a bulk floor, then the installation was carried out until the floor completely natural dried, which led to the evaporation of moisture after laying the laminate. In this case, after removing the laminate, it is necessary to carefully consider the base and if you find fungus and mold, then it is necessary to eliminate them using appropriate means. Then, you need to bring the humidity back to normal and treat the surface to a new installation.

So, any work must be checked for quality, even if you have trusted the master and, if necessary, forced to redo it.
