How do I repair a large water leak in front of my kitchen floor which

If you are renting, the problem is with your lessor. The floor will need to be removed clear down including the plywood beneath. How broadly it will have to be repaired depends on how far the water damage is.

If it feels soft under your feet, the under floor may be compromised and unsafe to walk on. You need to get to the basement (if possible) and check out the situation from there. You may need to replace some if not all of the under floor. Hope you kept their security check!

It will need to be cut out and replaced. Hopefully the sub floor is not damaged.

To avoid bigger problems down the road, get under there and fix what needs fixing now. I used to have rentals, and I can't say I miss them!

I would go under the sink and repair whatever is wrong to cause the leak. You probably will need to replace the flooring under the sink also. You may also have problems show up in the basement ceiling if their is a basement. When you replace the flooring and subflooring, take a good piece of the flooring with you to try to match it as close as possible so it isn't too obvious. This will make a difference if you have someone looking to rent that will actually care for your property as if it is theirs and repost problems before they get that bad. Good luck in your repairs, I hope you get a good tennent next time. I lived in a house that we rented for almost 15 years and the landlord never once painted or did anything unless the city said they had to do it, then charged me for all the things like repainting the floors, replacing carpet, painting the wall, etc. I refused to pay it on the grounds that we had lived their long enough that it would have had to be redone no matter what. Court agreed. If that isn't the only damage, or the repairs are more than the damage deposit, take them to court, from the picture they never let you know when there was a problem, or just didn't care.

And the sooner the better!!! the longer it is left, the more damage and more expense to replair!

I was amazed at what this recipe did for the "ruined" floor around my leaky dishwasher. I only tried it as a stop-gap until I could get around to getting the floor refinished. I couldn't believe it, but it's been about fives years since it happened and the floor still looks perfect!

Use 3/4 cup of oil, add 1/4 cup vinegar. white or apple cider vinegar, mix it in a jar, then rub it into the wood. You don't need to wipe it off; the wood just soaks it in Credit goes to .Heili's Healthy Haven

what kind of oil ?
