What is the status of Plastic Laminate Flooring in water restoration due to its construction?

Kept
Reused
Removed
Refurbished

The correct answer is: Removed

In the context of water damage restoration, the construction of plastic laminate flooring typically means that it is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture. Once plastic laminate flooring has been affected by water damage, it often swells, warps, or delaminates due to its material properties. This deterioration means that the flooring can no longer provide the required structural stability or aesthetic value. As a result, the common practice in water restoration is to remove plastic laminate flooring that has been compromised. This ensures that any damaged material does not contribute to ongoing issues such as mold growth or further water intrusion, both of which can pose health risks and additional damage to the property. Replacing the flooring allows for a clean and effective restoration process, mitigating any future concerns associated with water damage and ensuring the integrity of the overall flooring system in the affected area.
