120 sq ft emergency interior kitchen floor repair in an occupied studio unit after heat from a steam line beneath the floor caused visible burn marks and deterioration, restoring a safe, uniform walking surface.

Project Duration:  4 Days

Key challenges overcome:

  • Emergency Investigation: Used a thermal imaging camera to evaluate floor temperatures and identify the extent of heat-related damage before beginning repairs.
  • Up-to-Code Upgrades: Installed thermal insulation around the existing steam line and a new subfloor before replacing the finish flooring throughout the kitchen.
  • Resident Coordination: Temporarily relocated the resident during construction, with continuous communication ensuring an immediate return once repairs were complete.
  • Efficient Execution: Replaced the entire kitchen floor rather than only the damaged section, completing the emergency repair within four days.
