If your hardwood floors have started to show signs of wear and tear, you may be wondering if they can be repaired. The good news is that cupped hardwood floors can usually be repaired relatively easily.
The first step is to determine the cause of the problem. If the cupping is due to improper humidity levels in your home, then you'll need to take steps to correct that issue before proceeding with any repairs. Once the humidity issue has been resolved, you can begin fixing the individual boards that are cupped.
To do this, you'll need to use a pry bar to carefully remove the board from the floor. Once it's been removed, sand down the surface of the board until it's smooth. Then, apply a generous amount of wood glue to the back of the board and replace it in its original position. Use clamps or weights to hold it in place while it dries overnight.
Once dry, finish up by sanding down the edges of the board so that they're flush with the rest of the flooring. You may need to repeat this process for multiple boards if your floors are extensively damaged. With some patience and elbow grease, you should be able to repair your cupped hardwood floors and restore them back to their original beauty!
