Alwayslearning22 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 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 October 17 Share Posted October 17 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
