• Cupping or crowning — Wood boards lifting at edges or center indicate moisture imbalance.
• After basement flooding — Hardwood floors on ground levels absorb water from below.
• Appliance leak on hardwood — Washing machines and water heaters that leak onto hardwood need immediate response.
• Before refinishing — Hardwood must be dried to proper moisture content before sanding.
