We're beginning to see some recovery on our ruined dining room floor. Richard came by today and we went through all the pieces of laminate that we managed to salvage by wiping them down before they began to warp. We figure we lost 24 planks to the water damage. Some that were damaged were able to be used by cutting off the part that was damaged and some just needed to be wiped dry and left laying flat. We peeled back the underlayment and put fans on it to dry it over the weekend. That was able to be reused.
Richard does miracles. He worked all afternoon and recovered all but those 24 planks and got the rest re-laid. The floor is beginning to look normal now.
I want to get Richard to put copper tubing in the refrigerator's water and ice dispenser and take the plastic tubing out. I am afraid that may happen again and we will ruin the floor again when that tubing freezes again next winter.
The adjuster called and I sent the digital pictures that I took to him along with faxing him the original bills for the flooring and the bill for the original labor for laying it. I don't know what the insurance company will do toward a settlement.
