Common Hardwood Floor Problems and How to Fix Them
Scratches and Dents
Scratches and dents are inevitable with hardwood floors, especially in high-traffic areas. To fix these:
- Clean the area thoroughly
- Use a wood filler putty to fill the scratch/dent
- Lightly sand and wipe clean
- Apply a color marker matched to your floor’s stain
Cracks and Gaps
As floors age and settle, cracks and gaps can form between boards. Here’s how to repair them:
- Vacuum out any debris in the crack/gap
- Apply a wood filler or flexible acrylic caulk
- Use a putty knife to level the filler flush with the floor
- Wipe away any excess and allow to fully dry
Water Damage and Stains
Water stains and damage can warp and discolor wood floors. To address these issues:
- Thoroughly dry out any wet areas
- Lightly sand the stained area to remove the top layer
- Use a wood bleach or oxalic acid solution
- Apply wood filler and stain to match
