Greenhouse Effect - Technical Help with Hardwood Floors
What it is:
Floors that shrink or swell due to an abnormal level of humidity in a vacant house
Cause:
When houses are closed up with no air flow, several factors contribute to problem floors. Sunlight through windows generates heat, condensation and humidity build in the home, and the floor swells. Then when occupants return and the heat or air conditioning is run continuously, the floors shrink.
Cure:
After the environment returns to normal, follow cures discussed for cupped floors or shrinkage gaps. In the future, find a way to more carefully regulate moisture in the home.
