🔧 LVP buckling — warranty or not? 🤔
We were called for a paid service repair after LVP flooring buckled and joints cracked.
The cause: • Direct sunlight ☀️
• Loose gypcrete subfloor
• Expansion over time
Many homeowners assume this type of issue is always covered under warranty — but in many cases it isn’t, especially when subfloor conditions and heat exposure are involved.
A full gypcrete removal and subfloor rebuild is often the proper long-term solution, but it can be invasive and costly.
In this case, a limited repair was performed at the homeowner’s request, with clear communication about the cause and limitations.
💬 Honest questions:
• Would you expect this to be covered under warranty?
• Are you familiar with gypcrete subfloors?
