Q: Is water coming up from the floor an emergency?

• <div><p>Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-water-damage-concrete.htm">water-damaged concrete</a>.</p></div>

Q: Why is my laminate floor lifting up?

• <div><p>A laminate floor will lift if it hasn&rsquo;t been installed with the proper expansion gaps around the room&rsquo;s perimeter. Laminate flooring naturally expands and contracts when indoor temperatures fluctuate, and without adequate room for expansion, the planks can lift off the subfloor. To avoid this, ensure your flooring installer knows to leave the proper expansion gaps.</p></div>

Q: Do you put anything under carpet tiles?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to put anything under carpet tiles&mdash;unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it&rsquo;s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.</p></div>

Q: Can you put stair treads over carpet?

• <div><p>Yes. Many manufacturers make stair treads that you can install over carpeted stairs without needing to do any cutting or drilling. Stair treads can also be installed on wood, marble, and other stair surface materials. Just be sure to double-check the information for the specific product you&rsquo;re buying to ensure its adhesive or installation process will work with the type of stairs you have.</p></div>

Excellent. The workers cleaned up the area after each day. It took less time than first estimated. The building is great and no defects have been noted. The workers spent all day on the job site and only took a break for lunch.
