My whole house is hardwood - even the kitchen. I understand that if there is a water problem floors can be ruined - but insurance would cover that. My mom in Florida just went through it. New dishwasher was hooked up improperly and it was leaking for months unknown to her because the water was seeping under the floor. She didn’t realize anything was wrong until she started seeing small puddles. The water also seeped down the walls to the condo below her. She has to have all the hardwood replaced (kitchen, living room & dining room) and all the kitchen cabinets because the water ruined the bottom of a few. Her insurance is paying for everything and will go after the installer’s insurance to recover. This is the second time they have needed to be replaced - first was from an air conditioning until leak while they were up north for summer.
