If you have mold under your vinyl flooring, it’s recommended that you have it ripped out and start fresh. Mold isn’t something to take lightly and should involve a visit from a professional who can both test and identify the mold. If you’re determined to remedy it yourself, wear all the proper protective equipment—eye goggles, a high N-rated mask, and long, disposable gloves.

Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the longest-lasting kitchen flooring materials. However, while these materials can withstand a good amount of daily wear and tear, they’re likely to crack if you drop something heavy on them, and they’re pricier than many other options. On average, installing a ceramic tile kitchen floor costs between $1,240 and $11,250. Other durable kitchen flooring options include natural stone and concrete.

Most repairs take 1-3 hours, though extensive damage requiring replacement of large sections may take longer.

If there’s minimal buckling and it was caused by minor moisture damage, the planks may lay flat again once you’ve addressed the underlying issue. However, laminate floors that have experienced significant moisture damage won’t lay flat and must be replaced. If the issue only affects one or two boards, you can replace them yourself relatively easily. However, it’s best to call a pro if the problem is more widespread.
