Q: There is a large bubble in a click-type engineered floor in our basement. It was installed 6 months ago. The dealer says it is due to excess moisture and will charge for a T cap, removal of quarter round and repair to board.
Is this reasonable?
A: Well, I guess one has to ask if any contractor is responsible for the maintenance of the environment year round in a house. If there is any sort of installation in a basement, I always inquire about moisture and humidity. Sounds like you need to have a dehumidifier running during the summer, just like me. I can’t give a better answer because I only have your brief email to respond to.
