Been brought onto a job to help try and save a wood floor in a new restaurant construction. Plumbing company is responsible as one of their new installs in kitchen broke and ran water all weekend into the wood floor area. No walls or structure are affected it's just the wood floor which is in an open room and is approximately 2400 square feet.
It's tongue and groove Douglas fir
Then 1" 1/8 advantec brand plywood subfloor
Then poly vapor barrier
Then floor level
Then concrete subfloor
We removed one small section to confirm and take a look. The nails for the subfloor have punctured holes in the vapor barrier and allowed water to run under it.
Can we save this?
My thought was to drill small holes (go into the knots on the wood) all the way to the floor leveler
Or should we just attach rescue mats and let the holes from the nails be the release points? Or is this not gonna work?
Have rescue mats and heated air plus the usual drying equip
