        "text": "Not necessarily. Whether you need to replace the entire floor depends on the extent and nature of the damage. If only a small, localized area of the surface flooring is damaged and the subfloor beneath is intact, a patch repair or replacement of a few planks/tiles might suffice. However, if the damage, particularly water damage, has spread to a larger area, compromised the subfloor, or caused structural issues, a more extensive replacement might be necessary to ensure safety and longevity. An inspection will determine the best course of action.",
