Waterproof floors can actually cause water leaks to spread farther

Are LVP Floors Really Waterproof?

Element Restoration: Water, Fire Mold

At Element Restoration, we recently helped a client tackle a common but often overlooked issue: water damage on a kitchen LVP floor caused by a leaking icemaker water line. While luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors are advertised as waterproof, water can still seep between the boards, causing hidden damage underneath. This type of water intrusion can spread quickly, leading to structural damage and even mold growth if not properly addressed.

The problem with “waterproof” floors is that water doesn’t just sit on the surface. Once it gets under the flooring, it can travel far and wide, causing serious issues. Even if the visible part of your floor seems dry, the damage beneath it can be extensive. That’s why itโ€™s always crucial to call in the professionals who have the right equipment to fully extract the water and prevent further harm to your home.
