How To Fix

Step 1

Remove the baseboard from the affected area of the floor. Remove the nails that secure the baseboard in place using the hammer and pry bar.

Step 2

Pry the warped wood flooring up using the pry bar.

Step 3

Inspect the subfloor for damage and make repairs as needed. If there is any water damage, dry out the subfloor completely before proceeding.

Step 4

Replace the damaged wood flooring with new wood that is the same size and thickness. Nail the new wood flooring in place using the hammer and nails.

Step 5

Install wood shims between the new wood flooring and the existing flooring to create a level surface. If the warped flooring spans a larger area, you may need to cut out and replace an entire section of the floor. In this case, use a circular saw to make the cuts and a jigsaw to remove the old flooring section.

Step 6

Sand the new wood flooring to blend in with the existing floor.

Step 7

Replace the baseboard that was removed in Step 1.

This should fix your warped wood flooring. If the problem persists, you may need to consult a professional.
