Is LVP supposed to kind of wavy with air pockets when you walk on it?
I have a townhome built in the 80s and signed a contract with a designer who hires out contractors to complete renovation projects. I stopped by the place today to see the new flooring and it is wavy and has a ton of spots where your foot sinks in because there’s like, an air pocket or it’s just not sitting on the subfloor…?
The contractors she hired also incorrectly worked around the toilet and somehow knocked the hose loose, causing water to spray like a fire hose throughout the first floor for at least a day, possibly longer, so I’m wondering if the air pockets are from that but I’m not an expert (which is why I’m nervous about mentioning the flooring feeling wrong). But I have LVP in my new house and it isn’t wavy with air pockets but my husband said “that’s because our house is brand new, the other one is very old.”
I’ve drafted a text message to send her because she keeps asking us to send the remaining $7000 balance to continue work but maybe I am being too picky about the floors?
Text message I want to send:
“I noticed while stopping by a couple times this week that the floor installation is not well done. There are air pockets everywhere, to the point where planks could easily be pulled up, it’s very uneven and wavy, and in general appears to be a rush job. When can that be fixed? I would prefer to resolve that before giving you more money as I’m not very confident in the work that has been done thus far.” #home source
