laminate flooring

[agent4]

My dog decided to have a jimmy on the floor yesterday while i was at work now where the flooring joins is started to raise is it possible to get it to go back down again without ripping it all up and starting again.?

Our son's washing machine leaked and made a mess of their flooring, but after a few days it dried out and went back as good as new. Hope it works the same with dog wee.

Personally, even with sixpence's testimony, I've found that moisture infiltration into many types of laminate can be difficult to repair without replacing the damaged lengths. The succesful outcome depends mostly on the quality of the laminate. You should try, however, drying the swelled part along with as much pressure as you can apply to it. I would recommend a heavy weight placed on several layers of newspapers to not only squeeze the moisture out but to have an absorbent material on it as it dries...

Best of luck!

The best answer is to take the dog for a walk before you go to work !!
