This is FANTASTIC...I have this same problem and you have given me hope..PLEASE don't remove this wonderful video. Thank you from Ontario Canada 😉

[@henrywadman2908]

After hearing my son excitedly shout “wow! I just can’t believe this” from across the house, followed by using every towel in the house to clean up an overflowing toilet, I was a bit worried when my floor boards started squelching. This was an excellently shot video that explained your fix extremely well! Thanks!

[@sabrinagrace5932]

i’m having the same issue. this video has given me hope. hopefully i can be able to do mines on my own.

[@JB-ci4fh]

You saved my a--! I am about B+ on most construction jobs. My dog peed on a section while were out for dinner, and she left a HUGE puddle in the middle of the floor. We cleaned it up, woke up the next morning to find a foot diameter circle of raised and feathered area of my BRAND NEW LAMINANT! That was in 2007. We just ignored it, and it got worse and worse. Now, we are selling the home, and it's time to do something about it. The realtor immediately noticed it, so this morning I scoured YT to find your video. I was gun-shy at first, but just kept going. The last board was fashioned with all the slots cut off except the front one. Since it was on the upper floor, and the base-board was wood, I screwed them in with two decking screw because it was SUPER TIGHT. I was tired of trimming, and only had two boards left, but it held very nicely. THANKS AGAIN! You saved me about $500, and I don't think the repairman could of done a better job. Wife is impressed with my skills! YOU DA MAN! Took about 3 hours and involved 8 boards.

[@leovalder2021]

This is great. I was getting ready to cut with my circular saw and was afraid of getting dust everywhere. I tried out your method and, while not entirely identical, it worked great. Thank you!

[@elaztekasolitario4269]

The only problem to this is finding the boards that match your old flooring....

[@jimmypalmisano9116]

Hey, I hate to put this tip online, but I will,,I use powerful suction cups, ( used for glass work) ,put them on and just pulled them up 😊

[@walterlampert1753]

I am actually doing this right now. The rubber mallet tip is genius! Thank you!

[@jasonvoorheis1984]

Nice repair of the floor. Thanks for the tip to cut the locking groove

[@johnmurray9422]

Well done John Cleese.

[@chrisd151]

This is incredibly helpful, but How much does a smaller repair like that normally cost (labor, then material separate)? How do you match the new planks with the remaining planks? How long does that job take?

[@serenamurphy5924]

Thank you so much. We didn’t know how we were going to fix the floor.

[@markgayao2437]

Hello, what weight mallet are you using or recommend?

[@SaraAlMamarii]

This is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!

[@lindahill7315]

I have the same issue cats and actually water. I have the planks to replace but how to keep it from happening again?

[@tonymccaul7159]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done! 👍 Any chance of you doing a job in Kildare, Ireland? Seriously!! 🙏😀

[@EvelynHernandez]

I have that issue where some water sat over my laminate floor. It also had that bubbling effect on yhe edges. If I put a heater to it will that dry it out and help fix the issue?? Im sure if got water under it hich caused the bubbling up effect.

[@MH_Bikes]

Great video Tim, thank you.

[@peterd2587]

Thank you, I was in a pickle and this worked

[@Kellycreator]

I have Malinois x Dutch Shepherds . They take their balls to have a drink, to avoid the other one stealing it. Results are Apple bobbin to retrieve said balls and carrying a mouthful of water in the process 😂🤯 If only I had listened to my neighbour and sealed the joins after installing! Pretty sure I can manage this fix with the help of my Son! Thank you for sharing your expertise. 😊

[@alfrede.neuman8898]

Why was the saw needed to cut the final piece? I have the same click lock laminate floor.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

The first plank is the key...sometimes very difficult for example in a closet where the ends are tight to the wall.

[@hotelbooking6923]

If you have to repair a piece close to the end in a small area you can just take off the base and remove the pieces to get to the ones you want and put it back together since it's only a few pieces in the closet anyway. This video shows something you should only really do if the problem is in the middle of a big area and taking the flooring apart from the end is a bad idea

[@deb6415]

Thank you for this video! Gives me some hope !

[@margaretpatterson5823]

Don’t you need to treat for the urine smell on the floor underneath?

[@Danielm316]

What about when you don’t have same color or material to replace?

[@dgoto90]

I need to hire a person to do almost exactly this how much should this cost for parts and labor. Est in Florida thanks

[@MrUdaman4]

What do you do if you damage the underlayment?

[@jayb8298]

Great video to be fair....great idea but does the wood glue hold with constant walking on it?....anyone tried this?...cheers

[@mylalito72]

Thank you so much for your help

[@rogerfleck5387]

I have damAge can you do mine but I dint know where to get the color

[@SRQallday]

Where are you located in So Fl?

[@89degreestudio56]

This is how to REPLACE, and NOT how to repair. Your title is misleading.

[@jdjsjsjswhoevsicpsu6953]

Basically the same thing if you actually use your fucking brain 🥰🥰🥰

[@jamesjackson7616]

How to repair your floor. Tf you think he is, a magician?

[@89degreestudio56]

@jamesjackson7616 I suppose the part that says "how to fix" is the part you got confused on.

[@jamesjackson7616]

@@89degreestudio56 no it was clear. Common sense is obviously a skill. the damaged floor is repaired… not replaced. Replaced would mean a entire new floor. “How repair a laminate plank” is what you are looking for

[@89degreestudio56]

@@jamesjackson7616 you can't repair a laminate plank. Only replace. That's common knowledge. Yes, I'm trolling you... by throwing your words back in your face. Settle down. You're way too worked up over nothing. And from months ago, no less.

[@shadeylady8993]

Thanks

[@troyal82]

Can I use this same process on LVP? I put NuCore LVP flooring throughout our house a couple years ago and now realize I should have taken a wall down first. So now I'd like to take the wall down but it's right in the middle of the room where I floored. I'll have to pull up an area of flooring and redo it.

[@billski7958]

How do I contact you guys?

[@CHEECHMUN]

Just to be safe, always bring some weights with you!!!

[@gtl9199]

The best tip would be to never install laminate. On the long Run its a waste of money. Better off with vynil plank. Believe me i made the mistake

[@brandonharrell3815]

This only works when your not worried about damaging the board next to it....from the looks this whole floor needed replacement

[@christopherdeangelis6096]

A week for Titebond 3 to dry??? I think 24hrs should suffice haha

[@MsVwB]

Fix and replace and repair are absolutely different. Not the same misleading at best.

[@MrKakarottek]

😀

[@patbird9694]

Micro management at its finest. Who uses titebond to affix floor boards. You serious 😂

[@carollollol]

That is not repairing that is replacing.

[@Blaze23557]

John Cleese …😅

[@richarddunham3286]

Great repair video but irritating video …. Camera guy needs instruction

[@davidruthenbeck4038]

This is not the way of removing the flooring there is a lot easier and more safer way than that. The way your watching can damage the other boards.

[@shannonhoffman5168]

BS!

[@TheShah87]

Wrong title 👎🏼

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

Sigh. If such a minor damage requires a replacement then my case is hopeless. I wish there was a magic trick solution to this

[@sa-jy2gq]

Lot of us don't have the tools or money to do that ,wish there was a quick I fix I only a couple small annoying bubbles, enough to be annoying but not to d9 all that
