Since I started this thread, I thought I would throw in the first post.
About two years ago, we had a floating wood floor installed in several areas of our house. About six months ago, we noticed that one of the planks in the middle of one of the areas was becoming discolored. We suspected that some water had been spilled and had gotten trapped below the floor. As time went on, the discoloration traveled to two other boards along the same line. Saturday, we decided to remove the boards to find out what was going on. What we found was that water had gotten into the fabric padding between the floor and the wood. Most of the padding is covered with plastic, but the edges are exposed about a half-inch on each side. It was along that exposed area that the floor was discoloring. The water had wicked over a major portion of the area, going a third of the way across our dining room and a third of the way across our living room, approximately 400 square feet. The more we peeled up, the more we found water.
We suspect that our Reverse Osmosis system had a clog in the purge circuit and that it had leaked water down and under the wall between the kitchen and the dining area. We suspect this may have been happening for almost a year, as it is also tied to our refrigerator ice maker. We were having problems with the ice maker not producing ice, and a couple of weeks ago, my wife tried to clear a kitchen sink clog. That is when she noticed water coming out of the RO purge valve running down under the sink. I took an air hose and blew through the RO purge outlet, which apparently cleared the line. Since then, the ice maker has worked flawlessly.
We spent all day Saturday lifting wood flooring, removing wet padding, then replacing wood flooring. This involved a lot of cutting, setting, and puzzling the click and lock panels back into place. We removed and replaced any that we found that had signs of water damage (fortunately, we had purchased a couple extra boxes... just in case). The process continued for half of Sunday (meaning that we missed church

). We were able to fit all the pieces up under the baseboards as originally installed, without having to remove any baseboards and repainting any walls. At this point, everything is back to normal except a couple of transition pieces that need to be re-glued down.
As is usually the case, I was able to do all of the work "comfortably" as God made me, which is how I remained the entire weekend, except for about 30 minutes when I had to run to the hardware store for some wood glue needed to hold the final piece in place.
Initially, I was regretting putting in a floating wood floor. However, if it had been carpet or glued-down wood flooring, the damage would have been more severe, costly and the repair more time consuming and labor intensive. That we were able to get it repaired ourselves in about 14 hours is amazing.

Woke up this morning, a bit sore from the weekend, had my coffee, read the news, then read a couple Bible studies, checked out the garden, all "naturally" before having to shower and get dressed (my least favorite activity) for work.
