Hard wood floors seem to be saturated?
Hey guys, I just came across this website a few weeks ago and have come across some great tips. My problem today is that my hardwood floors seem to be saturated. There is no water leaking from above the floor or any signs of water source from the crawl space. Reading some old forums I think it could be humidity changes and temperature differences of the cold pipe under the sub floor and hot air in the house. I have a hot water boiler for heat and no A/C system so humidity is very hard to control. Any suggestions on what is going on or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!
Are you sure the wood is wet? can you pull any water out of the flooring with either a rag or shop vac? Is there a musty odor? does it show up in pics? .. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...your-post.html

If it was moisture the floors should be buckling and cupping.
There should have been a vapor barrier under the flooring.
How wet or humid is it in the basement?
