LIFTING LAMINATE FLOORING, LAMINATE EXPANSION PROBLEM, BUCKLING WOOD FLOORING

Lifting laminate floor problem. This video will show you how to fix a laminate, wood, or even vinyl floor that is lifting or buckling because its just to tight to the walls. All flooring should have at least 1/4" perimeter gap for expansion. If there's not at least 1/4" expansion and the floor is to tight to the wall the only way for floor to go is up. The floor we are fixing here was pressing against the walls so tight that it was lifting 6" off the ground. We relief cut the perimeter of the room where it was touching with our oscillating saw in order to get the floor to drop back down. I know oscillating are expensive so I put a link below where you can get over 20 blades for the price of 1 in the big box stores.
I see a lot of laminate floors like this that are install with little to no expansion and they all lift like this. That's why its so important to install your flooring properly. Always allow wood and laminate floors time to acclimate prior to installation as well if you want to avoid problems like this. Also make sure you install your flooring under constant AC and make sure its the same temp that the floor is always going to be in.
I have tons of videos on how to install all different styles of laminate and vinyl flooring if you really want to learn to install flooring properly.
