If floating floors get wet, they’re at risk of warping, buckling, or developing visible discoloration. Since floating floors aren't glued down, moisture can seep underneath and cause the planks to expand or lift, especially if water sits for too long. If damage is limited, the flooring may dry out with proper ventilation, but significant swelling or distortion usually means you'll need to replace the affected sections. Prompt cleanup and moisture control are essential to prevent long-term issues.
