        "text": "Flooring replacement is necessary when water damage is extensive, leading to irreversible issues like buckling, warping, widespread mold growth, or structural compromise. If the subfloor is also damaged, or if the flooring material cannot be properly dried, cleaned, and sanitized, replacement is the safest option. Prompt assessment by a professional contractor helps determine the full extent of damage and whether repair or replacement is more viable.",
