Floor swelling

I am personally having hardwood flooring problems at home. I have a fridge that leaks water and it seems to be swelling the wood surface . Is that possible?

water and hardwood dont mix. Nathan is right, you need to get that fridge out of there or fixed. Depending on how long its been leaking you may want to check for mold under the wood

Mold under the wood could be checked by using a $10 mold test kit from a hardware store or having your floor professionally inspected (they have fancy equipment that makes it quicker and more accurate than using the DIY kit). Remember that small amounts of mold are normal for any house, so don't panic if you get a nonzero reading on the test kit. If you have a serious case of mold then you'll need to pull your floor and get it cleaned out before it spreads.

If the wood itself is molding you should be able to see some dark speckles or splotches in the infected areas. There will also be a musty mold smell if you get close enough. If you do have mold in the wood (but it isn't too severe) you might be able to scrub the mold stains off with a fine grit sandpaper followed by a mold/mildew killer (moldx or similar) to prevent re-occurrence. You'll need to refinish your floor afterward though.

Sorry your floor will never be the same ,the floor will have cupping even after dry ,mold will form between sub straight and floor call your insurance company ,Black mold is a health risk

A moisture meter would also give you a reading ,if it less than about5% your okay,above 5 to about8 not to worry ,above10 their is a issue.

I agree,but checking to see how far the water has travelled under the wood ,will determine the area of damage

cupping is a good sign,it is amazing to see what water does to hardwood flooring and engineered and laminate when it travels and how far it travels under the product

and dishwashers
