Alwayslearning22 Posted Wednesday at 16:01 Share Posted Wednesday at 16:01 My radiator was leaking for 24 hours on my new laminate floor and seeped under mdf skirting boards. would a dehumidifier dry out the water under the laminate and skirting boards? I really don't want to lift the floor and skirting boards, but i worry about mould forming behind skirting and underneath floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I think you will have to lift the floor. Laminate flooring is fairly moisture resistant, but it is also quite vapour tight, so getting a few litres of water to evaporate though it is going to take a long time. Most MDF swells when wet, and does not return to the original dimensions. Get the insurance to sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
